Careers in Physics

1. Where do you want to work after graduating the University?
2. What spheres of industry can you work as a physicist in Tyumen?
3. Is it difficult to find the job of physicist?
Training for a career in physics begins in the home when boys and girls learn to make things and to discover why things work. It continues with elementary and high school studies in science and mathematics.
The chief training of physicists takes place in college. They learn higher mathematics, the basic tool of physics. After a year or two of general courses in physics, students may begin to specialise. They may take courses in electricity, optics, or nuclear physics. Most physicists continue their training after receiving a bachelor’s degree. Most positions of responsibility in physics require a doctorate.
Employment. More than half of the physicists in the United States are engaged in research and development activities. Large numbers of physicists also teach in colleges and universities. Others have positions in administration and management.
Some physicists conduct experiments and work with instruments and other equipment. Others trained in mathematical analyses of physical problems, work with theories. These two sides of physics are closely related, and many physicists excel equally in both.
Many industries employ physicists in their research departments. These scientists work in applied physics, which deals with fields directly related to improving a manufacturing process or a product. They may also work in basic physics, the study of general physical principles that may or may not have practical applications. Many physicists work in government research
laboratories. Others work in the laboratories of foundations and research institutions. Physicists in colleges and universities may conduct research and help train other physicists.
