Learn about some career options related to each one of our issues.  Click on the links to get more information about each role.

Therapeutical Chemistry

Associate scientist, pharmaceuticals

These types of scientists analyse samples to develop new drugs and they assist in preclinical and clinical studies. Watch this video where Holly, an employer of AstraZeneca, explains what her job entails for the RSC.

Medical
Chemist

Medicinal chemists design and create new pharmaceutical active molecules to combat a particular disease or condition using chemistry techniques such as organic chemistry and data analysis. Click on the link to learn more about this job position.

Medical
Research

A medical researcher tries to seek to understand human health and diseases, they explore ways to better prevent different illnesses. They plan and conduct experiments and analyse the results in order to increase the scientific knowledge in medicine.

Process chemist, pharmaceuticals

They turn already discovered compounds into a commercial product that can be manufactured on a larger scale taking into consideration the cost, the effectiveness of the process if they are environmentally friendly or safe.

Toxicologist

They work with chemicals and assess them with the aim to determine if they are harmful to humans, other living organisms, and the environment. Click on the link to visit the RSC page where they explain Callum's work as a Forensic Toxicologist.

Biomedical Materials Science

This area studies the material and biological interactions that substantially govern the outcome of biomedical transplants, also known as biomaterials. However, it has been used recently to study biological materials for non-implant purposes (such as cellulose).

Astrochemistry

Atmospheric Chemist

This type of chemists study the Earth's atmosphere, its changes and the pollutants. Zoe explains to the RSC what her jobs involves in this field interpreting data obtained.

Astrochemist

This job position mainly involves the study of the chemistry and the physics of the space between the stars. This requires a lot of research and different experimental techniques. Click on the link to read more.

Green Chemistry

Marine Biogeochemist

These types of scientists study how the climate change is affecting our oceans in terms of their biology and chemistry to find ways to protect the marine environment and the ecosystems within them. Learn more about this role in the link below.

Scientific Consultant

A scientific consultant will help to solve any problems related to the engineering, science, regulations or even business from their customers. In this case, it is related to battery applications that can go from car batteries to the ones in our devices making sure they are safe to use.

Solar Technology Engineer

They study the solar cell technology to develop cheaper and more efficient solar power in order to have this source of energy as the main one since it is less contaminant.

Professor of Environmental Chem.

These professors will use chemistry to study different environmental pollutants from monitoring them to detecting and analysing them. They will then teach undergraduate students about sensing and monitoring of pollutants in air or water for instance.

Environmental Chemist

They try to help protect the environment by assessing the risks to our wellbeing from the different chemicals existing in air, soil or even water. This is performed not only in the lab but also, through desk-based research.

Plastics, Analytical Technician

These scientists are trying to find new ways to alter the structure of plastics so they are more biodegradable in the natural environment and thus, be less harmful.
