Perspectives for scientists - chemistry and biology
Students and graduates of the natural sciences are often predicted good career opportunities. But especially biologists are often confronted with a very heterogeneous labor market. These special circumstances require flexibility and openness for new career prospects. Even chemists succeed in starting a career often only after successful doctoral studies, as many doctorates are required for many jobs in business or research. Graduates in biology and chemistry have analytical skills, structured skills, and diverse skills that are appreciated by human resources. These potentials are also needed in areas beyond the traditional fields of activity in research and development and can make a successful career start possible here. For a quick overview, potential employers for chemists and biologists were gathered on the following pages. These are supplemented by further useful links for starting a career.
