Engineering What Job Opportunities are Available for a BS in Nuclear Engineering Specialized in Radiological Health?

AI Thread Summary
Graduates with a BS in nuclear engineering specializing in radiological health have various job opportunities available, particularly in health physics. It's recommended to explore the employment section of the Health Physics Society website and Nukeworker for potential positions, though many on Nukeworker may require prior experience. For targeted job searches, using platforms like Engineerjobs.com can yield relevant listings by selecting "Nuclear Engineering" and including "radiological" in the search criteria. Applicants should consider positions that require less than five years of experience, as employers may overlook specific experience requirements for qualified candidates. Engaging with the community for support and advice is also encouraged.

I am going to be graduating with a BS in nuclear engineering specialized in radiological health. What are some possible jobs options that are available with good entry level pay?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I would check out the employment section of the health physics society web page (assuming you have membership). Nukeworker sometimes has HP positions as well, but these are usually jobs with experience.
 
OP,

We can't yet parse the results by years of experience (we're working on this actively) but you can find nuclear engineering jobs with an emphasis on radiological health by searching here: http://www.engineerjobs.com/search.php

  • Select "Nuclear Engineering" under Discipline and in the "All of These Words:" section type "radiological".
  • Your results will look like this: http://www.engineerjobs.com/jobs.php?jobcat=Nuclear+Engineering&city=&state=&k_all=%22radiological%22&k_any=&k_none=&f=&requesttype=Search

I'd also say any employer that requires less than 5 years of experience, especially any that require 2 or less and are comfortable with a bachelor's-level candidate, is worth applying to. There is a chance either that the employer may overlook the year-specific requirement or that they may have another opportunity not otherwise listed you may be a good fit for.

If you have any questions or if we can be of any help, let us know.

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...
