What sorts of jobs would a color scientist do?
Thanks for your inquiry. For one thing you made me realize we have to make a page on our website that gives examples of the types of jobs our graduates accept. We do have a page listing our sponsors and companies that students have gone to work for (there is a big overlap between the two). Most of our graduates at both the M.S. and Ph.D. level end up going into industrial research and development positions. There are a variety of fields represented by the list I mentioned above. Recents grads have ended up working on things like printing/color reproduction of greeting cards at Hallmark, formulation of paints at Benjamin Moore, imaging systems at HP, cell phone cameras at Qualcomm, display systems at TI, electrophotographic printers at Xerox, imaging software/hardware at Apple, television quality at Philips and Samsung, etc. Many have gone on to help found technology companies or to very high level research positions at places like Kodak, HP, Microsoft, etc.
