STEM News Tip: COVID-19 and the Physics Job Market

Details

Last month, we featured news on the impact of COVID-19 on physics research, including a recent Physics Today article by Mitch Amrbose.

In this month’s issue, they continue the discussion to talk about how COVID-19 is changing job searches in physics. Online video job interviews can be a big change from traditional campus visits, and job offers are sometimes left in limbo along with the budgets that support them.
