Jobs & Career Astronomy is an amazing & a promising career for the students, those are interested in the mysteries of the universe. A career in Astronomy is broadly divided as Theoretical or Observational though. Theoretical Research career is typically involves doing Bachelors in Engineering or Technology or Masters in Physics with the basic knowledge in Mathematics & Physics. You can join Universities or Institutions for a Ph.D programme & obtain a permanent job. Observation Research Career is wider because students have an engineering degree or have knowledge of computer systems & electronics are encouraged to apply for the graduation programme & allows doing an M.Sc by research prior to doing a Ph.D. There are various job opportunities exists in public and private organizations like Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA), NASA, Technology Information, Forecasting and Assessment Council (TIFAC) etc. As a brilliant astronomer, you may be offered by space research centres like ISRO, NASA etc. Interested people can also join teaching profession after the accomplishment of pre-requisite qualification. As a beginner, you can work as a fellow researcher with the existing team who already working on an Astronomy project. You can also get internships at the different centers in India that do astronomy such as IUCAA, ARIES, NCRA, etc. An engineer with a BE or B.Tech degree can also enter in this field as a research scholar. After completion of your degree in Astronomy, you can work as a research scientist with various research Institutions & big government organizations such as the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). You can also work as a researcher in the leading observatories and Institutions in the USA.

Candidates can earn as high as 36 LPA after graduating from an MSc astronomy course and this figure can continue to grow with more skills and experience over the time. Each and every job profile in this field offers high salary to the candidates and offers them a chance to practically apply the theoretical knowledge learned during the course.
