Discussing thought-provoking questions with enquiring minds is at the heart of physics teaching as a profession. You’ll help your students to understand the world around them, capturing their imagination and preparing them for the future. Train to teach with a £28,000 IOP Scholarship There are just 140 scholarships available for those with a physics, engineering or related degree to train to teach in England in the 2018/19 academic year. In addition to the funding, IOP scholars will benefit from •    IOP membership for your teacher training year, including a subscription to Physics World •    Celebration events at the beginning of your training •    Networking events and educational trips •    Opportunities to contribute to physics education policy Those with a mechanical engineering degree could also be eligible for IMechE Associate membership. The future of physics and engineering is in your hands. Find out more: https://www.gradcracker.com/hub/489/institute-of-physics?utm_source

Following the success of the ESA Academy’s Ladybird Guide to Spacecraft Operations training courses in the past two years, ESA’s Education Office is offering 30 university students the opportunity to participate again in this course and learn about the fascinating world of spacecraft operations. To bring this fascinating world of challenges and satisfaction to life for university students contemplating a career in the space sector, ESA is organising the Ladybird Guide to Spacecraft Operations training course, a technical course without excessive mathematics or technical jargon. This 4-day course will take place between 11 and 14 September 2018 at the ESA Academy’s Training and Learning Facility in ESEC-Galaxia, Transinne, Belgium. The course will show students how ‘driving’ a spacecraft is different from designing it. When it comes to spacecraft, it is the launch itself that grabs all the headlines. Once in orbit, we only tend to hear about the satellite again when it returns a great r
