SPS works to bring
guest
speakers to campus, to discuss current and
continuing areas of
interest; organizes visits to such places as the National Institute
of Standards and Technology (
NIST 
) and the
NASA Goddard Space
Flight Center ;
and serves as a place for students and faculty to come together
informally to exchange ideas, get to know one another, and have
some fun.
Interested
in a
summer
internship?
The
National Office of the Society of Physics Students (SPS) has alerted
us to a
Job Resource
website
that you may find of interest, especially if you are a senior
here at Gettysburg: it promises to help you "post your resume
and...match you with cool jobs. Search for jobs from over 1,000
of the top companies."
The
Statistical Research Center
(SRC) of the American Institute of Physics conducts extensive
research on undergraduate and graduate physics programs in the
United States. One of the Institute's primary activities
is to publish reliable information on the characteristics and
evolving trends, including
employment
data, of the physics/astronomy communities. The
information is timely and informative - check it out!
Interested
in astronomy? Check out the
Asteroid
Patrol or speak with
Larry Marschall about
the
Observatory
and
NURO,
Ian
Clarke
about
Hatter Planetarium
and our new
Friends of
Astronomy (free to G'burg students).
Gettysburg College has a website of
physics resources and there
are a number of sites with information about employment opportunities
for physicists. Below are just a few that may help (we
can't guarantee, and if you find some that we list as not good, let us
know; if you find others that are good, let us know that, too).

USAJobs is the Federal Government's web site for open positions. Make
sure you follow the "professional" and "entry level professional"
links. Many jobs are posted here, and it is updated everyday.
And again, the
American Institute
of Physics is an excellent site. News, bulletins and a neat
little job bank.
JobWeb
is
your typical job board, but some have thought they had some good
stuff
for
physicists. Just use the right keywords for the search.
They also have a page on
resume
writing.
Science
Applications International Corporation
is a placement service.
