The placement service of the American Institute of Physics

NOV 01, 1955

As most physicists know, the American Institute of Physics operates a placement service for the benefit of members and other physicists and of employers of physicists. The AIP Placement Service has become, in recent years, a major activity. It is on the job every day, all year round—not only when it comes most prominently to attention on the crowded occasions of the large national meetings. Much of the daily work of the Placement Service is handled by correspondence, but the visitors’ desk in the front hall of the Institute is almost always in use by one or more individuals going through the lists of job vacancies or by representatives of universities, industrial companies, government agencies, and others seeking to employ physicists.
