What career opportunities are available for an Indian student in the US after earning a master’s degree in astronomy or astrophysics from an American university?
I think there are several opportunities. For one, research positions in universities or government agencies like NASA or the National Science Foundation (NSF) are popular options. They often look for skilled researchers in these fields.
There are also positions in private aerospace companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, or even Boeing. They have various roles that require expertise in astronomy and astrophysics.
Okay but what about academic positions?
Many graduates go on to become professors or lecturers in universities. Teaching and continuing research can be very rewarding.
