Advancement Prospects
A plasma physicist who works as a college teacher can advance from assistant to full professor and perhaps to department head. Those who work as researchers advance by receiving pay raises, being assigned supervisory or managerial duties, or being asked to work on more prestigious research projects. Plasma scientists with leadership abilities can advance to become research directors for their organizations. A plasma physicist with considerable experience and expertise could open his or her own consulting firm.
