Physics is considered one of the most difficult subjects of the school curriculum, as it is a dynamically changing scientific field. Therefore, a physics teacher needs to follow all the news in the world of science, get acquainted with new discoveries, technical achievements and inventions.
The main task of a physics teacher is to teach children to understand the world around them, the processes that occur around them in everyday life.
Today there are many professions that you can choose from. But physics-related professions are an integral part of our entire life.
A physicist is, first of all, a scientist whose main research is, of course, physics.
Physicists deal with a wide range of topics and problems, such as subatomic particles or the behavior of the universe as a whole.
A separate term for a scientist who is engaged in physics must be attributed to the middle of the 19th century. It was at this time that physics emerged as a separate science with its objects for study, as well as the methods of study used.
The first explorers of these questions were scientists of the ancient world: Heraclitus, Anaximenes. It was Heraclitus who first suggested that all the bodies that surround us consist of the smallest indivisible particles called atoms.
In the beginning, physics was inextricably linked with philosophy. The birth of physics as a separate science happened in the era of enlightenment.
Those times are associated with the names of Hooke, Newton and Leibniz. A physicist is studying objects from the world around us, as well as the laws according to which they interact.
He studies objects as physical bodies, and the interaction of objects as physical phenomena.
The study of physical phenomena provides an opportunity for physicists to discover general laws, as well as apply them to general progress. Physicists study physical objects through experiments.
Within the framework of such a profession as a physicist, there are a large number of specializations.
An example is a nuclear physicist who examines the properties and structure of atomic nuclei.
Or a laser physicist who studies the theory of how lasers work.
But the most widespread and developing direction in physics today is, of course, quantum physics, which enables us to learn new microparticles.
And the sphere in which a physicist can apply his abilities and knowledge is determined by the specialization received in an educational institution.
Every technological innovation used by modern mankind requires scientific and experimental work from a physicist. That is why at every large enterprise that produces modern technology, the position of a physicist-engineer is provided.
And those who work in research institutes patent all their discoveries. And any interested manufacturer can take advantage of its scientific development if it pays for a patent.
People who seriously want to deal with issues in the field of physics need to have a number of abilities and qualities.
First of all, these are analytical abilities, a tendency to analyze, mathematical abilities, well-developed long-term and short-term memory, the ability to concentrate, self-organization, responsibility, developed intuition, curiosity, emotional stability.
Physics can be divided into theoretical, experimental and applied physics. Each, in turn, is divided into several areas: nuclear physics, micro- and nanoelectronics, materials science, energy, aerospace technology, nanotechnology, etc. Students choose one of them and, if possible, after graduation work in their specialty. If not, then our list of additional options will help them.
Physics teacher, teacher
The most obvious option: you could not find a job in a specialty that you studied for several years, you can go. In order to get a job at school, a teacher's diploma may be required. But as far as physics is concerned, it is more important to be a practitioner, to know the laws and their operation, to be able to solve problems, analyze formulas, demonstrate experiments.
You can teach at a university without postgraduate studies. But building a career without a PhD is almost impossible. Most positions require an academic degree.
Laboratory employee
There are scientific laboratories in universities, research institutes and design bureaus at huge factories of the military-industrial complex. It is worth going here for those who want to devote themselves to science and technology, since it is in such institutions that new and innovative things are created, researched, tried, implemented and developed. Employees are frequent guests of thematic conferences. The prospect is to grow up to the head of the laboratory, the head of the center.
Author of popular science texts
Practitioners become the best authors in narrow topics. For a physicist who knows how to put words into sentences, and sentences into texts, there is scope for part-time work or basic earnings - from freelance cooperation with the author of a section of a thematic site to writing manuals like "Physics for Children" and compiling a collection of problems, from articles to VAK journals to editor of a popular science publication.
Project Promotion Manager / Grant Applicant / Consultant
V recent times The Russian government, represented by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, allocates an incredible number of grants to support scientific schools, young scientists and researchers. The bill goes to hundreds of thousands of rubles a year for a student or graduate student and millions for employees with a candidate or doctor of science degree. But to get such a grant, you need to justify it. And this is no longer so easy to do. It is necessary to draw up a detailed application, in which it is necessary to list the final results of the proposed research, the required equipment and material costs at all stages of the project, a list of performers and a reasonable groundwork on the topic of the allocated grant.
A competitive application is written for at least a month. But a competent drafter can work on multiple grant projects at the same time. For each grant received, the applicant can receive approximately 10-15% of its amount. Translated into rubles, this is 100-150 thousand from the millionth grant.
Organizer and host of a science show
Shows of experiments and physical phenomena have become popular in recent years. If you have a business acumen and organizational skills, you can open a similar company yourself and involve fellow students in the work. Or get a job in those that are already known in your city.
Children react enthusiastically to such shows. And it is not difficult to surprise them to an experienced physicist. "Rainbow" glasses, artificial snow, invisible ink ... Similar experiments can be carried out by any freshman of physics and technology. A minimum of props, a white robe, spectacular glasses, a bright wig to create an image - and the Professor is ready to amaze children.
Depending on the city and the number of children, such shows are paid from 5 thousand rubles and more.
Tour guide in scientific or experimental museums
The Polytechnic Museum in Moscow, Experimentariums, Einsteiniums, scientific and technical expositions, lecture halls ... People are moving to a new level of development. It is not enough for us to look at the pictures and bones of a mammoth. We want to learn new things, learn, comprehend and expand the horizons of our consciousness. That is why such establishments are so popular. And who, if not an expert in a scientific topic, can tell the best how the material world works?
Consultant in popular science programs and cinematography
TV shows like The Big Bang Theory can provide you with a job for several years
Explain, decipher and show with an example, disassemble in stages, retell in "simple" words, see and eliminate errors - this is what consultants and experts do. Where can such services be needed? On television and film studios, in the editorial offices of scientific publications, authors of videos and texts for websites, etc. Or you can create your own website on a scientific topic - an analogue of a polytechnic museum.
Expert opinion
Cand. phys.-mat. Sci., Associate Professor, Head of the Department of Materials Science and Physics of Metals, Voronezh State Technical University
A physics student from the 1st year studies the secrets of matter, the laws of physics and the cause-and-effect effect of any experience. He is taught to independently comprehend, propose and set up a physical experiment according to well-known laws and methods. If the results of the experiment do not correspond to the physical canons, he looks for the cause of the negative effect and tries to figure out what he did wrong, using the literary sources of the “great ancestors” and information and communication resources. After realizing the reason, he repeats the experiment. The result is usually beneficial. But if not, he delves deeper into the secrets of laws, physical formulas and equations, takes into account his mistakes and introduces external factors. Does the experiment again, trying to get a positive result.
A physicist can do what is written in his technological plan. But this can be done by anyone with certain knowledge and skills. But if a deviation from the technical process suddenly occurs, a marriage appears, the entire batch of expensive products can be ruined and the company incurs huge losses to the customer, then a person who understands the processes can correct the situation.
If a problem has arisen and you need to urgently solve it, a physicist will help, who will find the root of this problem and fix it as soon as possible or propose a solution to eliminate it. Because he was taught that way from the first year.
When using materials from the site, the author's indication and an active link to the site are required!
reference
The first discoveries in the field of physics appeared in ancient Greece. The very name of this science was derived from the work of the same name by Aristotle, who developed many physical hypotheses and theories. Physics in translation from the ancient Greek language is nature, and the purpose of the first experiments was to explain natural phenomena and laws.
This word appeared in Russian thanks to Mikhail Lomonosov, who translated and for the first time in Russia published a textbook on physics. The talented scientist made many useful discoveries in this area. For example, he developed a batoscope, which made it possible to examine the river bottom, measure the depth of a reservoir and take samples of its soil. Lomonosov was in many ways ahead of his time: one of the first ideas for creating a helicopter belongs to him, and modern developers are still guided by many of his optical inventions.
Demand for the profession
Quite in demand
Representatives of the profession Physics are in high demand on the labor market. Despite the fact that universities produce a large number of specialists in this field, many companies and many enterprises require qualified Physicists.
Description of activities
Physicists study environmental objects and the laws of their interaction with each other. The most important way of research for them is experimentation. Each of the specialists, with the help of experimental observations, verifies certain ideas that can be applied in many areas of modern man's activity. Since there are a large number of areas in physics, such scientists, as a rule, specialize in a particular one. So, there are nuclear physicists, radiophysicists, nanophysicists.

How users rated this criterion:A radiophysics student on how physicists become developers, why it is not necessary to go to a technical university and how much nuclear graduates receive
Studying radiophysics at Voronezh State University
We live in a wonderful time when physicists and engineers are becoming idols of people. Along with rappers and bloggers, we hear the names of Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking and Steve Wozniak. Even in fictional worlds, engineers and physicists occupy the main roles - remember at least Tony Stark or Sheldon Cooper.
But they still fear physics as something terrible and continue to queue up for admission commissions of humanitarian faculties. Let's figure out what physics education gives and where to work later.
What do physicists do
Physicists and Engineers. I'll make a reservation right away that in this article the physicist and the engineer will be close in meaning. But in fact, you have to separate: physicists are mostly theorists, and engineers are practitioners who design devices, maintain equipment, and write programs.
Where are physicists needed... A smartphone is an understandable and accessible gadget for everyone. Engineers develop this device from scratch: battery performance, the latest displays, processors, optics in cameras, face and fingerprint recognition systems, cellular standards. All this is physics. After the development of these components, programmers come into play. They write operating systems and applications.
Developers with a physical education are engaged in nanomaterials, quantum dot TVs, build nuclear power plants and come up with designs for new electric cars. The list can be very long. Once my teacher said: "Physics is everything that we see around us" - this phrase best describes the breadth of the profession.
Where do physicists work
There are several large areas in Russia in which it is easiest to find a job:
🚀 Defense complex. In our country, the army remains the main driver of new technologies. There are huge budgets and a great demand for technology: new communication systems, engines and space developments are needed.
🚘 Automotive industry. We do not have such popular cars as in Germany, but the technology still needs to be developed. A lot of physics in self-driving cars. They are worked on not only by neural network programmers, but also by engineers. The latter are developing sensors, communication systems, and powerful GPUs.
🔆 Nuclear power. One of the most paid areas, according to the Ministry of Education and Science, is nuclear energy and technology. This is not surprising, because Russian engineers are building stations all over the world: in India, Finland and Turkey.
📡 Scientific institutes. The Russian physics school remains one of the strongest. We have many research institutes, laboratories and academic towns, we have our own synchrotrons, colliders and cyclotrons. And physics still holds many secrets that have yet to be discovered.
What do you have to do
Physicists often work as design engineers and less often as programmers.
Developers usually design new devices. This could be a new engine or a new processor. There are a lot of profiles that are now being graduated by physics departments. I study at Voronezh State University, we train radio physicists, nanoelectronics engineers, nuclear scientists, opticians and specialized programmers. These are only the most popular profiles, there are others.
After graduating from the physics department, they often become programmers. This happens because the faculties provide a very good mathematical and physical basis. Programming is a language that describes a process. You cannot write a firmware for a transmitting module in a smartphone without understanding radio physics. It is impossible to create an airplane autopilot program without knowledge of aerophysics.
How much do they pay
Salaries are highly dependent on the area in which you will work. The Ministry of Education and Science calls the most paid among young specialists at least two physical specialties:
💰 Nuclear energy and technology - over 48 thousand rubles per month.
💰 Aviation and rocket-space technology - more than 46 thousand rubles per month.
These are the salaries of university graduates. According to hh.ru, specialists with over 5 years of experience can receive up to 150 thousand in Moscow and 60-80 thousand in the regions.
Where to go to study
Many applicants go to technical education at polytechnic universities. There really are specialties that cannot be found in classical universities. But in recent years, all universities have been living in a competitive struggle, therefore they open up the same areas that employers need most of all.
Therefore, when choosing a university, do not pay attention to whether it is technical or classical. Better study specialties and curricula.
For example, there is the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology with a classical education and the Moscow State Technical University. Bauman with applied. Both universities compete with each other for the best applicants and train personnel for similar employers.
What you need to enter
1. Decide if you want to go to science- do research and scientific work or you need an applied specialty. This will help with the choice of a specific university.
