Hi all,
After a major in physics (European university), a PhD in AMO physics (laser matter interaction) I am in the beginning of my 3rd postdoctoral position. I have been always studying laser interaction (from moderate to strong intensities) with molecules , atoms and (for a while surfaces). I have made several publications in peer reviewed journals and conferences. Normally I am on track for a permanent position in academia either in a university or in an institute.
The thing is that I already feel a bit fed up with this kind of stuff. Even though I progress scientifically and I acquire more skills I feel somehow useless, that everything I do are not connected to real life. Not to mention that I am kind of tired with the timetable (in my last post the working hours are close to 12+ hours per day …) and the salary...
That is why I have been thinking to change my career to something else, either in industry or in the public sector. In order to have a more regular life! The problem is that since I have been always dealing with fundamental science I have no idea about the job market and where I could search for job.
So, I would be grateful if you could provide me with any suggestions about sites in the web that I could search for job postings (apart from indeed) or generally, sectors and fields that my skills could be useful and could provide me a fresh start.
Thanks in advance
