Astrophysics career

There are many different ways to pursue a career in astrophysics.
You can become an astronomer
Studying objects in space like planets
And galaxies.
You can also become a physicist or engineer
Working on projects that explore the nature of space itself.
There are many other opportunities
Becoming a science journalist or educator.

Individuals seeking to become an Astrophysicist can expect to pursue an undergraduate and graduate degree in order to enter this field as many jobs require an advanced PhD degree in Astrophysics.
Many individuals who study Astrophysics continue on to seek researching or postsecondary positions.

Some areas of study for astrophysicists include
Their attempts to determine the properties of dark matter
And other celestial bodies; and the origin and ultimate fate of the universe.

The average salary is approximately $89
000/year.
As a research scientist
You’d usually be expected to have an advanced degree and several years of experience in astrophysics or related work.
You may also need extensive Knowledge of programming and data analysis.
2) Astronomer

To become a professional astrophysicist you need to do an undergraduate degree in physics, with an honours year, and then do a PhD (a doctorate)

The details change from country to country, but in Australia that's the deal

Astrophysicists use widely accepted physics theories to explain phenomena in space

Astrophysics jobs may exist in space exploration, scientific research and education

Along with an in-depth understanding of physics, astrophysics jobs may also require specialized training in complex mathematic theory, chemistry, biology and astronomy

As a senior scientist in an astrophysics role, these professionals may lead a team of engineers, research technicians and other scientists to conduct experiments, complete research studies, develop spacecraft, observation tools and consult with project managers and directors to fulfill common objectives
