Most graduates with a background in chemical physics go on to work in research. This can happen in academia, where they teach chemistry, physics, and chemical physics at the post-secondary level. As well, such people can get an additional education degree and work at the high school level teaching chemistry and physics.
Others work in private industry in applied research. They can work in nanotechnology, which can benefit the electronics, biomedical, or chemistry industries. They can also work in materials science and chemical development, where they develop novel materials for various other industries. Government agencies will also hire chemical physicists to develop new technologies (eg. lasers), such as for the Department of National Defense, Agri-Food Canada, or Atomic Energy of Canada.
A degree in chemical physics can also be used for a future in engineering (chemical, process, biomedical, etc.). Combined with a law degree, such people can work in industrial patent law. Combined with a business degree, such people can work as laboratory managers or administrators, or in technical sales. A background in chemical physics can also be used for a medical degree (eg. radiology, nuclear medicine).
