Hello nairalanders. I'm a graduate of physics. I got my B.Sc degree in 2014 and I'm almost done with the compulsory one year NYSC program. I have always looked forward to being a lecturer, because I have a great flair for the lecturing job. I plan to go for my M.Sc program immediately after my service year, but it's like I don't really know how to go about securing a lecturing job. Is it advisable for me to get my M.Sc degree before applying for a job, or I can start one (maybe as an assistant lecturer) while I run the program? I will also like to know how I can go about applying for a lecturing job in tertiary institutions in Nigeria. Your suggestions and orientation are highly needed please. Thanks.

What grade did you graduate with? If your degree class is high - 4.0 and above you could apply to some schools esp yours to be recruited as graduate assistant. Otherwise finish up with your m.sc and get the doctorate going and apply as assistant lecturer to your select schools.

Best of luck.

The truth? Look for opportunities to go bag your postgraduate degrees, M.Sc and Ph.D. They will be waiting for you in open arms when you're done.

Thanks for your contribution sir. I graduated with a second-class upper degree (CGPA- 3.98).
