Expert opinions on the best states for outreach coordinators
Are there any particularly good places in the United States for outreach coordinators to find work opportunities?
Nicolle Zellner (on behalf of members of the CSWA)
Chair, Committee on the Status of Women in Astronomy - CSWA
I think that permanent and what might be considered more "traditional" astronomy research positions like tenured professorships are more difficult to attain, primarily because of a short supply in the availability of those positions compared to the number of qualified candidates. Looking more broadly, there's a wide range of relevant positions for which many astronomers have very useful and increasingly more recognized skillsets - outreach/education positions for a variety of age groups in STEM, technical program/project management, scientific writing, and data science in industry, as examples.
