Looking for a job that you can really bond to? You should become a Physicist…
Physicists use research, analysis, and experimental physics to study the interaction of energy and matter within the physical universe. They use this increased understanding to help improve various aspects of human life.
The specific nature of a Physicist’s role will depend on the industry and field they work in, but their research could help to develop a range of useful technologies – from satellites and robotics, to medical instruments and treatments.
Specialisms within a field include theoretical analysis, where Physicists use computer systems and advanced mathematics to provide scientific explanations, or experimental research, where they design and carry out experiments to prove theories.
Duties will vary dependent on the industry, but general tasks for a Physicist could include:
- Teaching at a school or University
- Conducting research
- Building and maintaining specialist equipment
- Designing and carrying out scientific experiments based on research
- Finding out new ways to produce energy
- Working within climate forecasting
- Writing reports and papers for journals
- Specialising in other fields such as medicine, robotics, or space exploration
