Los Angeles Organic Chemist Jobs Overview
Organic chemists are the magi of compound synthesis—studying the composition and properties of carbon-based structures, then characterizing them and constructing organic compounds. By figuring out the complexities of how organic molecules function, scientists working in organic chemist jobs have been able to better understand the human body, nature, and animals—and also help improve our lives in myriad ways.
So much of what you have around you was developed from the research done by organic chemists. That includes soaps, lubricants, vegetable oils, textiles/apparel, pharmaceuticals, biodegradable plastics, and biotech innovations (e.g., seeds for plants that are drought-resistant).
As an organic chemist, you’ll design new organic substances that may become part of the building blocks of anything from your next laptop to the various emulsifiers in the packaged foods you buy during grocery runs. You’ll also evaluate current goods and consider solutions for upgrades, refinements, and enhancements.

About Working in Los Angeles, California
The Hollywood sign stands for everything glamourous and star-studded in Los Angeles. But did you know it was built in the 1920s to advertise a new neighborhood called Hollywoodland? The "land" was eventually dropped from the sign in 1949, and it became associated with nearby Paramount Pictures, Universal, and Warner Brothers. Today, downtown L.A. is the largest government hub outside of Washington D.C. and has the largest historical theater district in the U.S. But not all Los Angeles jobs are in show business. More than 700,000 health services and biomedical jobs and 190,000 aerospace jobs stoke L.A.'s economy.
If L.A. were a country, the city's economy would be bigger than those of Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, and Sweden. Los Angeles is a sprawling metropolis, engulfing five counties—Los Angeles, Riverside, Ventura, Orange, and San Bernardino. If you're looking for jobs in Los Angeles, you have a lot of choices for relocation. There are more than 80 neighborhoods in L.A. and 16 districts just in downtown. For those who want a slightly less hectic pace, you can also find jobs in L.A.'s beautiful suburbs, including Pasadena, West Covina, and Anaheim.
