Job market there is for econophysicists in academia

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the job market for econophysicists in academia compared to theoretical condensed matter physicists. Participants are curious about the ease of securing positions in econophysics and how it compares to traditional physics roles. There is an interest in identifying reputable institutions for econophysics research, with several links provided to resources and academic programs specializing in this field. The conversation highlights the growing relevance of econophysics and suggests that while job opportunities exist, they may not be as abundant as in more established physics disciplines.

Hi all,

I am just wondering how much of a job market there is for econophysicists in academia, as compared to say theoretical condensed matter physicists. Is it easier to get a job? How much so?

Also, what are some good schools for econophysics research?

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
