Chemist Jobs Overview

If the highlight of your school days was doing experiments in the lab, a career as a chemist could be the right path for you. Chemist jobs exist across a great scope of industries and sectors. You can for example work at a research institution, production plant, laboratory, or testing facility and in the public or private sector.

Chemists are experts on chemical substances and reactions. Many chemists work either in basic research, where the goal is to expand knowledge, or applied research, which aims to create solutions to specific problems. Chemists can also use their skills in other ways, for example to prepare solutions and compounds or oversee chemical processing and testing procedures.

If you have a passion for physical science and research and are curious and analytical, this may be just the field for you. Chemists are divided into many different specialties. Some of the most common ones include:

  • Biochemistry: involving chemicals and chemical reactions in human or animal bodies. Biochemists use this knowledge for genetic engineering, biomedicine, pharmaceutical research or to study different diseases.
  • Theoretical chemistry: the study of chemical reactions for basic research studies.
  • Forensic chemistry: to help police and other investigators solve crime by testing evidence.
  • Nuclear chemistry: preoccupied with radioactivity and other nuclear matter.
  • Medicinal chemistry: researching compounds that can be used for pharmaceutical drugs.

Also consider searching for other jobs in physical science, for example:

Education and Skills for Chemist Jobs

Chemists need to be analytical, curious, detail-oriented, and logical. As a chemist you will likely spend a lot of time working independently, so you should be self-motivated and independent, but you may also collaborate in teams depending on the job.
