Hi Keerthana M.,

I am glad to hear that you are interested in becoming a scientist! Science is a very broad definition. I guess, first, you may need to know what's your personal interest? Such as Botany(study plant), Biology, Marine Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering and etc. Once you decided, you need to go to college, get a Bachelor degree, most of the time you may need Master and Ph.D. degree as well. It's a very long process, you will need to keep learning. In this path, you might change your mind, shift from one field to another field. When that happens, let's open to the opportunity and embrace the changes!

Madison’s Answer

Hi Keerthana! Have you identified an industry or an area of focus? For instance, my company (Catalent Pharma Solutions) which is a contract development and manufacturing organization employees over 2,500 scientists globally. We also have different specialties such as biologics, product development, analytical development, assay development, etc. My suggestion is to identify a few industries of interest, top companies in those industries and then visit their career pages to view their entry-level requirements. From there, it'll tell you what education/preparation you need to get started!

Best of luck in your career!

Below is the minimum qualifications for the majority of our entry level Associate Scientist positions.

Experience & Education:
• Bachelor of Science degree in a science field plus 3 years relevant work experience is preferred
• 0-1 years of assay development experience is preferred

• The ability to work in team-oriented environment is essential, as this person will work closely with other team members and participate on multidisciplinary project teams
