Curating a well-researched list of companies aligned with your career goals and interests is a strategic way to initiate a focused and productive job search. This approach allows you to tailor your application materials, research company cultures, and identify potential opportunities that may not be widely advertised. By honing in on organizations that resonate with your values and aspirations, you can invest your time and efforts more purposefully, increasing the likelihood of securing a fulfilling role that aligns with your professional trajectory. #CheekyScientist #Biotechcompanies #CSCareerVault

3 typical things PhDs do that distort their value when applying to biotech jobs 𝟭) 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀 Most companies already have their value proposition and R&D focus determined. They don't need you to come in and propose research topics based on your interests. Instead, talk about your skills. That's what employers care about. 𝟮) 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 When you say you're a problem solver, that does nothing to differentiate you among all of the other competition. Everyone at work is a problem solver, even if they don't have a PhD. Instead talk about specific technical skills that you can develop methods for, use, and troubleshoot independently. Examples - NGS, affinity chromatography, cell line development, media development/optimization 𝟯) 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗱 When you're asked a question, pay attention to what is being asked. If it's a yes/no question, say "yes", "no", or "I don't know". Or if the question is asking for a list of things, provide a list of things. Don't tell a story unless they ask for one. If they do ask for a story, (ie "tell me about a time when...") practice bottom line up-front communication. Introduce the concise final result, then tell the story of how it happened. ---------- Work on the above skills and you'll be ahead of your competition. #biotech, #biotechjobs, #phd

🥼 From Academia to Industry: Bridging the Gap! 📊 Ever felt overwhelmed translating your academic journey into industry terms? I’ve been there! Let me share my experience: When I first started applying for industry jobs, I struggled to translate my extensive PhD and postdoc projects into industry-relevant terms. It was a daunting task, but I learned a few things along the way. Here’s how I did it: 🔬 During my PhD in Bioengineering, I developed a proprietary contrast agent to enhance early-stage tumor imaging. Initially, I had no idea how to position this in the job market. After a day of scratching my head and feeling like an absolute baboon, I realized that contrast agents are classified as drugs by the FDA. Voila! My PhD was in drug development and pre-clinical testing! Then came the big question: Which type of scientist position do I qualify for? This was a tough one, but here’s how I broke it down: 1. Formulation/Biomaterials Development Scientist:   - Designed and synthesized drug formulations.   - Worked with colloidal systems (LNPs, polymeric particles) in various forms (liquid, solid, oral). 2. Bioconjugation Scientist:   - Conjugated validated targets using various bioconjugation techniques.   - Purified formulations using SEC, IEC, HPLC, TFF etc.   - Validated targeting with IF, ELISA, and cell-based assays. 3. Analytical Scientist:   - Created SOPs and workflows for numerous analytical techniques (FTIR, UV-Vis, GC, SEM, and more!).   - Developed a DLS-based diffusion assay for enzyme-coated nanoparticles. 4. Pre-Clinical Scientist:   - Designed and studied the PK/PD of the drug in mice models. 5. Technology Transfer, Market Research and Commercialization:   - Gained skills in product-market fit studies, market analysis, identifying business needs, and regulatory pathways. So many skills, so many roles! 🎓 🔄 Looking back, my journey is a true testament to the diverse skill set you can develop during a PhD. Now, please can I find a job where I do everything and get paid significantly more? 😂 So, remember! Your academic experience is invaluable! It’s all about framing it right. 🌟 #CareerTransition #PhDToIndustry #LifeSciences #DrugDevelopment #SkillsTranslation #Job

SFBN Feed: Biotech job market bottoms out, hinting at potential comeback, according to Jefferies https://lnkd.in/gRQkHCWM The number of biotech job postings tumbled last year, but postings appeared to stabilize in the last few months of 2023, indicating that a rebound for the biotech sector is possible this year, according to [...] #BayArea #SanFrancisco #Biotech #Lifescience #News

In our 2024 Life Sciences Talent Report, CBRE delves into the nation’s top 100 markets, providing insights on life sciences manufacturing and medtech talent clusters. Regardless of the recent hiring slowdown in the U.S. life sciences industry, the historically low unemployment rate is bolstering labor market stability. Acquiring top talent in critical life sciences subsectors such as R&D, manufacturing, or medtech may continue to pose challenges into 2024. #LifeSciences #MedTech #TalentClusters #MarketAnalysis #labspace #biotechnology #lifesciences #commercialrealestate
