Advice for re-entering the field? I am currently working on an MBA in business analytics. My first job out of undergrad was a pharma chemist and QA specialist. I liked the work, but needed to quit due to disability. When I went back to work, I ended up in finance and operations. Now that I’m in an MBA program, I’d like to get back into pharma utilizing analytics, but my disability requires that I work remotely. Are remote analytics positions even possible in pharma?

Remote analytical chemist roles can be difficult to get if without experience and if not for a senior role. if you have any references towards QA or regulatory there could be possibility to work remote from. All the best!

Hello there. Here, I my desire is for referral(s) for Analytical Chemistry roles in NJ, MA (or nearby locations) so I can join my dear family/friends. Quick mention, I’m Canadian by nationality, but I possess every requirement - PhD education, experience, personality and motivation, and documentation to show demonstrate it all. Been hard luck even getting invited to talk with hiring managers.

I will reach out for any help, I’m available at <mcd301@usask.ca>
