AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on identifying job roles related to tracking dangerous or prolific nuclear material on an international level. While there is no single job title that encapsulates this responsibility, roles such as weapons inspector are suggested as relevant options. Various job postings from USAJobs are referenced, indicating opportunities in this field. Additionally, the conversation touches on the lack of engagement with a previous thread about the Manhattan Project and recommends resources like the "Los Alamos Primer" for further reading. Positions with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) are also highlighted as potential career paths for those interested in nuclear material oversight.

What job would best describe the following:

Keeping track of dangerous/prolific nuclear material. On the international level directly or indirectly.
Weapons inspector?

There's no single job to match the description, but these may give you some ideas:

Incidentally, I see that your "Manhattan Project" thread from last month got no replies. You may be interested in the "Los Alamos Primer", the set of notes given to new arrivals at Los Alamos. The original http://www.fas.org/sgp/othergov/doe/lanl/docs1/00349710.pdf" ; there's also a published version with annotations by Serber that goes into more detail and some historical background, so you may want to check your library for that.

I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
So lately, my interest in the realm of optics/optoelectronics/photonics engineering has grown and I have started to seriously consider pursuing a career in the field. I have done a bit of career research and also have done some learning on the side to gather more knowledge on these topics. However, I have some questions on what a career in these fields would look like, and I wanted to find out more about this area to know what I would be getting myself into if I did make the choice to pursue...
