In most countries, being a professor is the only way to have a permanent position as a researcher in academia. You can be a researcher without being a professor, but it may involve changing your position (and country) every few years.
- chrisseaton 9y agoI can't understand why you think this is the case. You can get a full-time job in industry being a researcher. Why would you need to move every few years?
- jccooper 9y agoAs the first step on the path to understanding, first consider: "in what fields do people get doctorates?" As a second step, consider for each of those "what industry will employ them?" If you step over to the non-STEM (and to a lesser extent non-TE) fields, the answer to the second question tends to diminish to "academia".
