What percent of tenure-track openings in each field get filled up by people who got their PhDs in a different field?
-
E.g. lots of fields prefer Physics PhDs to their own PhDs.
-
Answer:
I believe most of these are PhDs, based on the discussion around its use, but the original source is shut down (federal government), so I can't find more details about the data other than what is described in the paper I read this in. My source: Interdisciplinarity: A Critical Assessment. Jerry A Jacobs and Scott Frickel. Annual Review of Sociology, 2009. 35:43-65

Law schools are noted for having professors who have gotten their research doctorate in other fields. You do have to have a law degree to be a law professor, but if you look at a faculty profiles of a law school, you'll find that a very large number have research doctorates in other fields. Law is odd, because the standard degree in the US is called a JD, but that's not a research doctorate. There the research doctorate in law is called an SJD, but that's rather uncommon, even for law professors.
