What do most students of Shanghai Institute of Life Sciences of Chinese Academy of Sciences do after graduation?

Some of them may apply for jobs, and if they are lucky, they can enter the R&D department of a more suitable company.

Some of them will go abroad as postdoctoral fellows and then continue their scientific research. Many times, for biology, this doctorate is not enough, and you still need a lot of accumulation. I am also lucky, maybe I can be admitted to an ideal university or scientific research institution.

Some may take an examination of civil servants or enter public institutions.

Postgraduate life in Academia Sinica is quite hard. I think few people are willing to give up completely after those years, so most of them still continue their research.
