'You're Hired!' Careers for Chemists in New Company, Contract and Charity Sectors - SOLD OUT!

Organised by:

 SCI's Fine Chemicals Group and The Royal Society of Chemistry

Welwyn Garden City

Registration Closed

This event is no longer available for registration.

Synopsis

UK jobs for doctoral chemists considering industrial research are no longer predominantly offered by multinational pharmaceutical enterprises (Big Pharma). Instead a wealth of excellent opportunities now exists among new smaller companies (SMEs), the contract research sector (CROs), and charity funded organisations (Third Sector).

The meeting will bring together speakers from SME, CRO and Third Sector organisations to present the range of opportunities within this sector. It will also enable companies to better describe the differences in working for a large organisation versus a smaller one. Many of the speakers will have experience across sectors and be able to describe the pros and cons of each. They will also be able to describe the attributes they look for in potential employees.
The topic of on-going professional development will also be discussed, along with the various sources of support that are available to help in keeping ones knowledge up to date.
Attendees
This meeting is aimed at PhDs/Post Docs in the chemical sciences interested in roles in the bio-medical sector along with scientists from SMEs and CROs engaged in the field.

There will be ample opportunity for students to meet and discuss their own individual thoughts with speakers and other company representatives, many of whom have had to make similar decisions during their careers. There will be an opportunity to network with representatives from a number of relevant recruiting organisations.
