Hello all!
I'm getting my PhD in theoretical cosmology in August and I'm trying to figure out the intersection between what I WANT to do and what I CAN do.
Does anyone know much about Physics Education Research? I find education fascinating and I'm seriously considering applying to some great high school physics teacher positions.
However, I don't want to jump head first into that realm without first considering other options.
How marketable would I be in applying for a Physics Education Research postdoc position? I'm not sure if I have a TRUE relevant background for such research but notable things I've done are...
Founded "Science Club" - An after school program to get middle schoolers to "have fun with science".
TAed physics Labs
Tutored physics students
STEMM instructor at a local private high school
Actual physics research (to get my PhD)
Does anyone have a gauge if I'd have a shot at getting a postdoc in a physics education research department?
Thanks so much for your time!
Luke
