Research Opportunities
In their pursuit of original research, physics faculty
collaborate with postdoctoral fellows, graduate students,
undergraduate students, and visiting scholars. Research
opportunities exist across the full spectrum of theoretical
and experimental physics including astrophysics and
cosmology, atomic, molecular and optical physics, biophysics,
condensed matter, elementary particles and fields, fusion
and plasma, low temperature physics, mathematical physics,
nuclear physics, space physics, and statistical mechanics.
Graduate students also have the opportunity to work
with faculty members and researchers outside the department
in an even broader range of fields.
Physics research at U.C. Berkeley focuses on six major
areas.
