Over the past two decades, there has been a flurry of government papers and policy reports worldwide calling for increased number and diversity of doctoral researchers and a broadening of the curriculum to meet the developing needs of respective national 'knowledge-driven' economies. This has been followed by position papers and best practice examples of employability skills development in boundary-crossing doctoral programmes, especially in response to these initiatives. However, there is a disassociation between this ample literature expounding the new doctorate with its broader remit, inclusivity and production of 'industry-ready' graduates and the comparatively sparse literature on the doctoral candidates' experiences of their programmes and career readiness. Within this review, we briefly outline international government initiatives and examples of the responses by Life Science and Biomedical doctoral programmes to address these various challenges. Furthermore, we explore the recent literature on the lived experience of doctoral researchers by examining their perception of the recent changes to the research context to make recommendations for universities and supervisors on how to better support an ever more diverse doctoral population for a wide range of career opportunities. Examples of how doctoral researchers themselves can make the best of currently available opportunities are also provided.

在过去的二十年中,世界各地出现了一系列政府文件和政策报告,呼吁增加博士研究人员的数量和多样性,并扩大课程设置,以满足各自国家 “知识驱动” 经济体的发展需求。随后是跨界博士课程中就业能力发展的立场文件和最佳实践实例,特别是针对这些举措。然而,这些丰富的文献阐述了新的博士学位,其更广泛的职权范围,包容性和 “行业就绪” 毕业生的生产,与关于博士候选人的课程和职业准备经验的相对稀疏的文献之间存在脱节。在这篇评论中,我们简要概述了国际政府的举措以及生命科学和生物医学博士课程为应对这些各种挑战而采取的对策的例子。此外,我们通过研究他们对研究背景的最新变化的看法来探索有关博士研究人员的生活经验的最新文献,从而为大学和主管提出建议,以了解如何更好地支持更多样化的博士群体的广泛职业机会。还提供了一些示例,说明博士研究人员本身如何充分利用当前可用的机会。
