I would like to get a general sense of the life course of a physicists.
I'm finishing up my ugrad. studies and moving on to graduate school so I know of the physicist's life course up to this point.
I was wondering what happens at graduate school and further on? Specifically:
Graduate school:
- How long does it take to get a PhD?
- How many years is dedicated to research? How many years is dedicated to courses?
Post-doc:
- Do most people apply for post doc positions after PhD?
- Is applying for post doc positions similar to applying to graduate schools?
- How long do post doc positions last?
- How many post doc positions would someone go though until they are offered professorship?
- How much research/years of experience is needed to be a good candidate to apply for a tenure track professor position?
Professorship:
- Is applying for a professorship the same as applying for graduate schools?
- What are the criteria in which the school judges the applicants?
thanks for the future advice
