Career Opportunities in Astronomy and Astrophysics in Canada
Employment Resources and Professions Available to Astronomy and Astrophysics Graduates
Those interested in careers in astronomy should be prepared to consider careers outside of the country, since only about three astronomers are permanently hired in this country each year in their chosen field. However, astronomy graduates are also suited for work in related fields such as computing, remote-sensing, industrial research, museum and planetarium work, and telecommunications. Some may choose to pursue further studies in areas such as journalism, engineering and education.The Canadian Astronomical Society provides information on career prospects in Canada: http://www.cascaeducation.ca/files/careers.html The National Research Council’s Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics is one of the primary employers of astronomers and astrophysicists in Canada: http://www.hia-iha.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/about_e.html The American Astronomical Society has some important job links here:
