occupations. Many require more than five years of experience. For example,
surgeons must complete four years of college and an additional five to seven
years of specialized medical training to be able to do their job.
Training: Employees may need some on-the-job training, but most of these
occupations assume that the person will already have the required skills,
knowledge, work-related experience, and/or training.

The coursework offered by the aforementioned degree programs will help you develop a core set of
skills in the laws of physics and provide you with a highly applicable set of skills in mathematics, both
of which will be necessary for a career as a cosmologist.
If you want to become a cosmologist that completes your own research projects, directs others in
applied research, or teach at the college or university level, you will likely need a masters or doctoral
degree in physics, mathematics, astronomy, astrophysics, or a closely related field such as aerospace
engineering. Many students will also complete post-doctorate work in an area of cosmology in which
they seek to specialize.
Cosmologist Salary
The salary level of cosmologists can vary depending on factors such as their level of education, their
level of experience, where they work, the specific responsibilities of their job, and many others.
Cosmologist Salary Alberta: According to the 2011 Alberta Wage and Salary Survey, Albertans
working as part of the Physicists and Astronomers occupational group earn an average of $51.74 per
hour.
Cosmologist Salary Canada: According to Service Canada, the salary level of workers in
the Physicists and Astronomers occupational group is $66,968 per year.
Cosmologist Salary United States: According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics the
median salary level of workers in the Physicists and Astronomers occupational group is $105,430 per
year.
Must be precise in data analysis, as even small errors can invalidate research
Able to work well with others towards a common goal
Must have excellent writing skills; used for preparing grant proposals and writing research reports
You will also need a Ph.D. to work in most federal government research positions.
Many astrophysicists who have doctoral degrees work as post-doctoral fellows for
3-6 years before finding permanent employment.
Opportunities for Astronomy & Astrophysics study are available in the universities and autonomous
research institutions.

Significant Points
Physicists and astronomers study the ways in which various forms of matter and
energy interact. Theoretical physicists and astronomers may study the nature of
time or the origin of the universe. Physicists and astronomers in applied fields
may develop new military technologies or new sources of energy, or monitor
space debris that could endanger satellites.
Physicists and astronomers spend much of their time working in offices, but they
also conduct research in laboratories and observatories. Most physicists and
astronomers work full time.
Physicists and astronomers need a Ph.D. for most research jobs. Many physics
and astronomy Ph.D. holders typically begin their careers in temporary
postdoctoral research positions.
In May 2012, the median annual wage for physicists was $106,840. The median
annual wage for astronomers was $96,460 in May 2012.
Employment of physicists and astronomers is projected to grow 10 percent from
2012 to 2022, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Expected growth
in federal government spending for physics and astronomy research should
increase the need for physicists and astronomers, especially at colleges and
universities and national laboratories.
Job Requirements
Experience: Extensive skill, knowledge, and experience are needed for these
occupations. Many require more than five years of experience. For example,
surgeons must complete four years of college and an additional five to seven
years of specialized medical training to be able to do their job.
Training: Employees may need some on-the-job training, but most of these
occupations assume that the person will already have the required skills,
knowledge, work-related experience, and/or training.
