Descriptions

U.S. Navy

My name is LT Isabella (Izzy) Schaffino with Navy Talent Acquisition Group New England representing the United States Navy’s Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program (NNPP).  This is one of the most competitive, challenging, and elite technical fields within the USN. Many of our applicants have a physics background. An expertise in nuclear engineering or the nuclear field is not required. Students have the chance to become nuclear trained operators in charge of operating naval reactors onboard U.S. submarines and aircraft carriers, highly skilled instructors for the NNPP in Charleston, SC, or even Naval Reactors Engineers working in Washington, D.C. at headquarters to affect policy and production within the program.   Not only do students have a guaranteed job position following graduation, the Nuclear Propulsion Officer Candidate (NUPOC) program will pay students starting as early as their second semester sophomore year up to $5500 per month to maintain grades and physical fitness standards. Almost all positions include a $15,000 sign on bonus once accepted into the program. Thank you for your time.

Physical Sciences Inc.

Our employee-owners continue to grow the company across a range of markets applying emerging science to important problems. We play an important role in the development and transition of advanced technology from the laboratory to commercial and government use. PSI has a highly interdisciplinary staff with advanced degrees in chemistry, biology, physics and applied physics, electrical, aeronautical, and mechanical engineering, and materials science. We are structured to enable cross-disciplinary collaboration between our scientists and engineers in order to develop solutions to our customers’ technical problems.

PSI has many openings across different areas of the company. We hire for a career, not a contract, and our staff is selected for their ability to lead and contribute in a broad range of technical disciplines. Everything is in place for you to move your career forward providing technical and business development leadership in our company.

Brown University Department of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Science

The Department of Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences (DEEPS) integrates teaching and research to investigate fundamental phenomena affecting the Earth and planets. Our students engage in hands-on learning, in collaboration with DEEPS faculty, to explore natural hazards, global climate, and planetary bodies.

Brown University School of Engineering

Interested students can email carolyn_harris@brown.edu to request a time slot to speak about graduate programs in Brown University’s school of engineering.  

University of Chicago Department of Physics

The University of Chicago is a research institution located in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. The physics PhD program run by the university’s Department of Physics will be represented at the CUWiP Career and Networking Fair by third-year student Elise Hinkle. She will be available to discuss her experience applying to and matriculating as a physics PhD student at the University of Chicago.

NYU Tandon School of Engineering

Located in New York City’s Brooklyn Tech Triangle, NYU Tandon School of Engineering is a major player in New York’s ongoing tech renaissance, where students can connect to thousands of creative and leading organizations in this epicenter of business and technology. Graduate programs exist in the fields of mechanical, civil, urban, industrial, electrical, computer, chemical, biomedical and financial engineering along with programs in computer science, management of technology, cybersecurity, and integrated digital media. Our primary focus remains on producing highly prepared and desirable graduates, which has led us to be one of the top ranked schools in the nation with regards to graduate employability, salary potential, and return on investment. Please stop by our booth to talk to an admissions representative about our graduate degree offerings.

UMass Amherst Department of Physics

We will be representing UMass Amherst Physics, located in the scenic Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts, where we offer both the PhD and the two-year Masters graduate program. The Department has vibrant research programs in experimental and theoretical quantum matter and quantum information, soft matter physics,  nuclear physics  in colliders and underground, particle physics at the LHC, and theoretical high-energy physics.

Brandeis University Department of Physics

Characterized by academic excellence since its founding in 1948, Brandeis is one of the youngest private research universities in the U.S., as well as the only nonsectarian Jewish-sponsored college or university in the country. Brandeis University combines the faculty and resources of a world-class research institution with the intimacy and personal attention of a small liberal arts college.

Its 569 member faculty includes nationally and internationally recognized teachers, scholars and researchers. Brandeis supports innovative and exciting programs of learning and research that emphasize an interdisciplinary approach to knowledge and the solution of real-life problems.
