There is increasing pressure generally for lecturers to adapt theirsupervision practices of postgraduate students to better prepare postgraduatestudents for careers outside of academia. In this paper we examine what suchpressure may mean for the supervision and preparation of theoretical physicistsspecifically, theoretical physics being a sub-discipline of physics usuallyperceived as a highly specialised niche area of scientific practice. In thisexploratory study we apply the concepts of the Specialisation Dimension ofLegitimation Code Theory to analyse and reveal the dominant concepts and codes,as well as the code shifts that may occur during postgraduate studies, based onan autoethnographic account of theoretical physicist identity development. Thefindings demonstrate an underpinning value for both knowledge and knowerattributes in the journey to becoming a legitimate theoretical physicist, andthe critical role played by postgraduate supervisors in facilitating theprocess of theoretical physicist identity development. Also highlighted arepossible implications for supervisors faced with students intending to take upemployment outside of academia.
