Abstract:
This paper studies the importance of the socialization environment – nest – for the career destinations
of early career researchers. In a sample of research groups in the fields of science and engineering at
universities in Germany, we identify research orientation, output, funding as well as openness to
industry and commercialization as relevant components. Nests that attract more public funding and
are led by professors with high research performance are more likely to produce researchers that take
jobs in public research, while links to industry predict jobs in the private sector. In a more nuanced
analysis that differs by type of industry employment we find that larger firms also recruit from groups
with higher scientific performance, while SMEs recruit from nests with a higher patent productivity.
A focus on experimental development instead is associated with academic start-ups, and an applied
focus with employment in consulting. Recommendations for research training are discussed.
