Physics PhD, 2015. I knew from the start of my PhD that I didn't want to pursue academia. The PhD was like being in a band for 6 years and doing really cool stuff.
Went right into industry after PhD working for a life sciences company in systems engineering (the product design type, not the computer networking type). Now managing a small team designing robotic systems to automate chemistry/biology research.
- Balgair 8y agoI'm in a similar path, but struggling with it. Any advice on who/where to apply to? I'm really into med/biotech and just love it.
- rubidium 8y agoWhere you at? Interested in doing actual biotech research (e.g. new biologic drug development) or technology that enables the biotech research? Best job-hunting advice I've found is "Guerrilla Marketing For Job Hunters"
- sitkack 8y agoHa! I worked on hybridizer, imager, pipetting robot back in 2002. This was in Java (not my choice), if I did it again it would probably in Rust and Erlang.
