At a time when great jobs are hard to find, here's good news for the under-qualified: A new article appearing in the FASEB Journal shows that being a highly cited researcher may not be a primary qualification for taking on leading management positions at research institutions. This study provides empirical evidence suggesting that a glass ceiling may exist at research institutions where top-cited scientists either do not pursue executive management positions or are not accepted when they apply.
