Difficulties of early career researchers (ECR) to reach stable positions in academic world or industry and the way demands
and logics of job recruitment have been well documented, but little has been said on the scientific and / or professional journeys of young graduates
demands, in a refractory and competitive labor market. In this work we present a typology of the of young doctors in physics, biochemistry
and social science, in the early phase of their careers, within the framework given by the cognitive and social guidelines that regulate each field of
knowledge in which PhD´s are socialized in their disciplinary doctoral program before obtaining the possible job or desired position. The purpose
is to consider the correspondence or lack of it between their biography, research-oriented socialization in the doctorate and the demand and
constraints of labor market. The question to answer is: what are the typical characteristics of young researchers´ journeys according to theirspecialty?
Methodology and theoretical orientation: Transitions arise and articulate complex processes, it has a double sequence: what has been
done and what is to be done; “The journey” and the “probable future journey”. We consider two transitions at least: (1) essentially formative,
and 2) conducive to the labor market. Findings: positions may vary by transitions in a range that can be the most qualified positions to precarious
ones, those with instability, rejection, or positions that are completely disconnected from expectations. Conclusion & significance: The resemblance
or distance between the categories of ideal types and the daily life actions show where the greatest difficulties are located in the ECR´s
action journeys by discipline. The differences are greater when it comes to the second transition. In cases where positions were detached from
the ECR´s expectations, it´s possible to expect more correspondence in the near future.
