    I would love to do a doctorate in astronomy. What are the chances to find accommodation for a doctoral thesis in the private sector?

The latter exists, at least in Germany, mostly for professors. In astronomy so close significantly more doctoral her doctoral degree, as permanent positions at universities are available. Even successful astronomers do not always find a job. Therefore, one can only guess every PhD student, to think about alternate employment opportunities.
        
    When asked about the chances of a doctoral astrophysicist in the private sector can be difficult to answer, especially for someone who is just beginning his training. A little likely the chances of specialty and also their own interests depend. So there are many former astrophysicist who have found a job in software companies. Many astronomers namely develop complex computer models and use their programs the fastest computers in the world. The knowledge gained in the private sector are also of interest.

    Other astronomers are closely involved in the development of instruments for telescopes and space probes and can thereby gain experience in optics, electronics or project management that could benefit them in the private sector later. In addition, astronomers and astrophysicists will come with a sound scientific and especially physical basic training and this should not be a disadvantage in the job search.

    A royal road to well-paid job for his doctorate Astronomers find in astronomy no job, but unfortunately there is not
