Why not both? – academic and industrial career paths in physics

Dr Stephen Sweeney was recently invited to discuss the merits of working in academia and industry in a careers article published in Physics World. Dr Sweeney, of the Advanced Technology Institute and Department of Physics at the University of Surrey, reflects on his own career path to date and the opportunities that exist for students at undergraduate and postgraduate level. Instead of making a decision to work in either industry or academia, Dr. Sweeney discusses how one can work as a physicist in both environments.

The article is available in full at the Institute of Physics
