Who We Are
Cheeky Scientist is an industry training platform for academic PhDs who are ready to become confident and successful industry professionals.
Our Purpose
Only 2% of Fortune 500 CEOs have PhDs (StatisticBrain Report). Our purpose and mission is to increase this number to 51%.

Our Goals
1) Place 100,000 academics into industry positions.
2) Support all advanced degree programs in providing industry training to their students, members, and researchers.
3) Enact change that requires all government-funded principle investigators and academics to receive management and financial training.

How Things Are Changing
Today, only 0.45% of PhDs will go on to be professors (Royal Society). Thats only 1 in 222. The number of PhDs from all backgrounds who will be unemployed after graduation is above 60%. The number of Life Sciences PhDs who will be unemployed after graduation is above 80%.
In the U.S., the national average for a postdoc salary is only $46,100 per year (PayScale), while the national average for a PhD employed in industry is $91,200 (Science Magazine, National Science Foundation).
