Nature News :Japan’s science and education ministry has announced a Â¥500-million (US$5-million) plan to pay companies to hire postdoctoral students.
The scheme aims to deal with a glut of unemployed postdocs in the nation. The number of academic posts available to them has shrunk since the 1990s, as a result of government streamlining in the university system.
