Search university and college job boards for available positions. Apply for research or teaching positions if you have a Ph.D. and a couple fellowships under your belt. Also let your former professors know that you are looking for a job. They may have information about schools who are seeking candidates for open positions. If you only have a master’s degree, then apply for professor-in-residence or visiting professor positions in fields such as geology, chemistry, applied math, atmospheric science, and engineering. Public or private technology-based companies typically hire astrophysicists as technicians or technical staff members. Search for jobs at technology-based companies such as Apple, Raytheon, IBM, Microsoft, Intel, Google, Oracle, and Cisco Systems. Because astrophysicists have advanced data analysis skills, financial firms often hire them to do market modeling. These jobs involve analyzing data in order to predict financial markets. Search for jobs at the World Bank, MasterCard, ING, Goldman Sachs, GE Capital, and Standard Chartered Bank, to name a few. These agencies typically hire astrophysicists with Ph.D.s and master's degrees as technicians for satellite development, space programs, Exo-planet research, and galactic and stellar observations. Look for these jobs at national observatories like Magdalena Ridge, Arecibo, or the Argentine Institute of Radio Observatory. Also look for these jobs at agencies like the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NASA, and Keck Telescope.
