Working in Photonics (2/2) 2026

Summary

What can I do after my degree? Can I work in Berlin-Brandenburg? What kind of tasks will I get in my first job? We would like to address your questions about career options for physicists with a focus on optics and photonics, to improve information for students. 

Join us at the career event “Working in Photonics 2026" on Tuesday, November 24th, 2026.

Many students that are about to complete or have recently completed their degree in physics (Bachelor/Master/PhD) do not yet have a clear idea about their career path. There is usually only limited information about the various career options in industry and academia. At this event, we would like to discuss your questions and interests, to provide better information for students. We will also give you some insights into possible career paths in research and industry.

If you are looking to find out more about career paths in physics, with a focus on optics and photonics, and help us provide better information for physics students, this is the right event for you!
