Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, in Ulm, Württemberg, Germany. Six weeks later, the family relocated to Munich, where he started his education at the Luitpold Gymnasium. Albert completed his schooling at Aarau, Switzerland, and in 1896 he joined the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich to be trained as a physics and mathematics teacher. He obtained Swiss citizenship in 1901, the year he received his diploma, and, failing to find a teaching job, he took a position as a technical assistant at the Swiss Patent Office. He received his doctorate in 1905.

He created most of his extraordinary work while working at the Patent Office and in his leisure time, and he was named Privatdozent in Berne in 1908. In 1909, he was appointed Professor Extraordinary at Zurich, and in 1911, he was appointed Professor of Theoretical Physics in Prague before returning to Zurich the following year to occupy a similar position. He was appointed Director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Physical Institute and Professor of Physics at the University of Berlin in 1914. He became a German citizen in 1914 and lived in Berlin until 1933, when he resigned his citizenship for political reasons and moved to America to seek a job as Professor of Theoretical Physics at Princeton*. He became a citizen of the United States in 1940 and resigned from his job in 1945.
