Ukraine is positioned in the international research area as a country with recognized academic schools established mainly in the soviet period and two-level system of training and evaluation of research personnel, candidates of sciences and doctors of sciences. Post-graduate and post-doctoral courses still remain to be the maim forms of the training. A detailed account of post-graduate and post-doctoral training in Ukraine before and after the breakdown of the USSR is contained, with emphasizing the distinction between Ukraine and the West with respect to post-graduate and posts-doctoral training: while in the West it's located in universities, in Ukraine it's located in the Academy of Sciences and 'branch' research institutes. The analysis is made by use of the abundant statistical data on post-graduate and posts-doctoral training and R&D financing. Systemic threats to the quality of post-graduate and posts-doctoral training, appeared in the post-soviet Ukraine, are outlined. All of them are associated in a way with the degrading quality of post-graduate and posts-doctoral training in Ukraine HEEs, due to disparities between the small amounts of performed R&D and the increasing number of post-graduates there. However, this quality-specific problem doesn't exist in the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) of Ukraine. Quality-specific trends in Ukrainian HEEs and the NAS of Ukraine are proved statistically, which allows to position the NAS of Ukraine as the leader in post-graduate and post-doctoral training in Ukraine.

Changes in the personnel component of the Ukrainian science system are studied over the period of 2002-2008, by use of relevant statistical data on Ukraine, and comparisons with analogous data on Russia and several other post-socialist countries. Study of the Ukrainian personnel is made by age category (younger than 29; 31-40; 41-50; 51-60; 61-9; older than 70), by age category of researchers with higher qualification (candidate of sciences, doctor of sciences), by age category of higher qualification researchers in sectors of science (academy, branch, HEEs, factory). The analysis gives grounds for conclusions that in Ukraine, contrary to other post-socialist countries (including Russia), the crisis in the science system has been on, due to the continuing outflow of young personnel and ongoing ageing process, resulting in prevalence of old age categories of scientists on higher qualification positions and on administrative positions at research institutes. Measures of the government to push youth to science (special competitions, support with dwelling, grants for international conferences, stipends etc.) did have a certain effect, but, not being systemic, failed to evolve radical change, as the share of young researchers still remains too small. Yet, in spite of the continuing reduction in research personnel, Ukraine still has a big stock of research personnel, and science & technology activities in Ukraine has featured stabilization during the latest years.
