“The number of new #EntryLevel UK jobs has dropped by almost a third since the launch of ChatGPT, figures suggest, as companies use artificial intelligence to cut back the size of their workforces.

#Vacancies for #graduate jobs, #apprenticeships, #internships and #JuniorJobs with *no degree requirement* have dropped 32% since the launch of the #AIChatbot in November 2022, research by the job search site Adzuna released on Monday has found. These entry-level jobs now account for 25% of the market in the #UK, down from 28.9% in 2022.

Businesses are increasingly using #AI as a route to improve efficiency and reduce staff numbers. This month the chief executive of #BT, #AllisonKirkby, said advances in AI could presage deeper job cuts at the #telecoms company, after it outlined plans two years ago to shed between 40,000 and 55,000 #workers.”

The Guardian · Number of new UK entry-level jobs has dived since ChatGPT launch – researchBy Lauren Almeida

After I #graduate from my #astrophysics #masters #program next #year, I'm going to take a #GapYear to #improve my #resume for #applications to #PhD programs. Probably I would be doing an #internship, and given the #Trump #cuts here in the #USA, there aren't many #opportunities available.

I've heard that #France is picking up some of the slack. I'm #wondering if I should go, what I should do to #prepare, and where else there would be opportunities for me. Does anyone have #advice?

UMass disbands its entering biomed graduate class over #Trump funding chaos
With federal research funding imperiled by brutal cuts under the Trump administration, biomedical graduate programs nationwide are making tough decisions that will scale back the next generation of scientists

On Wed, news broke that #UMass Chan Medical School—a pub school in the U of Mass system—has rescinded all offers of admission to #biomedical #graduate students for the 2025-26 school year

Ars Technica · UMass disbands its entering biomed graduate class over Trump funding chaosBy Beth Mole

I spent 26 hours in the hands of UK Council for Graduate Education at their annual Doctoral Deans and Directors residential on Thursday and Friday.

We listened to experts and talked through approaches to everything from quality assurance to harassment and sexual misconduct (and I volunteered to help at a session for colleagues new to the network/role).

Made a lot of friends and learnt so much.
