PhD students finding employment in academia

We're waiting for John Fox to read a recent response and update the status.

Dear University of York,

I would like to obtain recent statistics [over last 10 years if possible] for the number of York doctoral students who enter academia as a faculty member [as opposed to those who enter the administrative side of academia] after receiving a PhD. I would like this data broken down by department if possible. I would also like the data to distinguish between the percentage of doctoral students who find temporary employment as adjuncts versus the percentage who find permanent long-term positions.

Yours faithfully,

Mr John Fox.

Dear Mr Fox

clarification of your request to ensure we interpret your request
correctly and conduct an effective search of our records.
 
Are you seeking statistics for York doctoral students who enter academia

I am seeking statistics for York doctoral students who enter academia at any institution in the UK or elsewhere. If the results could further be broke down by country, that would be helpful.
