Tushna Commissariat and Sarah Tesh outline what’s on offer in the Physics World Careers 2023 – your comprehensive, free-to-read, 110-page guide that has all the help you’ll need to fuel your career in physics.
A degree in physics opens up so many doors, that it can be hard to know what path to follow when you graduate – or where to even start. Physics World Careers 2023 is here to help, by bringing you case studies of physicists working in business and academia. From what physicists do day-to-day and how they got there, to their tips and advice for a successful career; our free-to-read 110-page guide covers it all.
As always, we also have a comprehensive “Employer directory”, where you can find out more about companies and institutions currently hiring physics graduates.
Our “Career development” section offers more general advice about planning for the future. Don’t miss the article by Carol Davenport, who reveals the 16 key “soft skills” you should keep up to scratch. Too often physicists think career success is all about how much physics you know, when what also counts are attributes like open-mindedness, curiosity and resilience. Her article could give you that vital edge when it comes to landing that dream job you’ve always wanted.
In the “Case study” section, you’ll find articles by or about physicists who work in a range of different sectors. Sure, physics can lead to a conventional career in academia – and even, in the case of Lia Merminga, to become head of one of the world’s biggest particle-physics labs. But physics graduates also end up in everything from fibre-optic research and navigation technologies, to metrology and the start-up sector.
Finally, check out our “Ask me anything” section, where we bring you bite-sized tips from physicists at different stages of their career journey.
If you’re ready to start your job search, do check out the Physics World Jobs site, where you can find vacancies in physics and engineering, for people at all career stages. You can also sign up for the Physics World careers newsletter, sent out every two months. To subscribe, simply sign into your free Physics World online account and tick the “Careers bimonthly” box.
We hope you find Physics World Careers 2023 a useful guide to your many options.
