Job Listings: Connect Physicists with Companies Looking to Hire

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the need for a job listing section on the Physics Forum (PF) to connect companies with physicists. A user inquires about the possibility of such a section, expressing difficulty in reaching the physics community for hiring. It is noted that a job listing forum previously existed but was discontinued due to low activity, and there are no current plans to reinstate it. The forum administrators are open to considering job listings if submitted directly, though they do not guarantee posting. The conversation highlights the ongoing challenge of effectively connecting employers with potential physicist candidates.

Is there a job listing section on PF? The company that I'm working for is interested to hire more physicists but we're finding it hard to reach out to the physics community specifically.

It can be made free to use, or perhaps you can charge a nominal fee to the companies per listing to maintain the forum.

Hi madilyn!

Thanks for asking. In fact a few years ago we did have a job listing forum. In the end it wasn't active enough so we pitched it. Unfortunately we don't expect it to return.

Good luck!

Oh no, that's unfortunate. Is it in bad taste if my employer listed an opportunity in the careers section?

Send me the listing and we'll consider posting it for you. No promises though :)

Thanks! :) I'll get a colleague to reach out to you.
 
I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
This came up in my job today (UXP). Never thought to raise it here on PF till now. Hyperlinks really should be underlined at all times. PF only underlines them when they are rolled over. Colour alone (especially dark blue/purple) makes it difficult to spot a hyperlink in a large block of text (or even a small one). Not everyone can see perfectly. Even if they don't suffer from colour deficiency, not everyone has the visual acuity to distinguish two very close shades of text. Hover actions...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
