Are there many research careers for people with PhDs in computer science? Are they many opportunities for them? How high demand is there for them?

Also, what else can you do with a PhD in computer science?

Aside from academic research careers, there are plenty of computer industry jobs for people with PhDs in computer science. I've always found the demand reasonably high in Silicon Valley, at least.

Some of these jobs are straightforward engineering, others are closer to research, albeit with a more practical bent.
