AIP Placement Service

For the past several years the American Institute of Physics has conducted a placement register for the benefit of physicists seeking employment and for that of employers seeking physicists to fill jobs. Although the placement service register operates continuously at the Institute offices, its most prominent role has been played at the large Winter Meetings of the American Physical Society and, on several occasions, at the APS Spring Meetings in Washington, D.C. This service is considered an essential part of the Institute's efforts on behalf of the physics profession, and it is an encouraging fact that since its establishment large numbers of physicists have been aided in contacting the personnel representatives of university, industrial, institutional, and government laboratories, and that many mutually satisfying placements have resulted.
