American Institute of Physics: physicists for hire.
by: Christine Zafra
The faculty of the American Institute of Physics’ trend in their faculty workforce has been music to the ears of those who wish to look for jobs in the said institution. Ever since 1998, a lot of veteran teachers leave due to retirement but were quickly replace by the new and fresh physicists. It was said that 2000 was the height of retirements; however, the institution countered that trend. What they did was they doubled the number of the people whom they hired, thus, balancing it.
Since 2000, the number of retirees has declined, but the American Institute of Physics did not change their hiring rate.
