Forum:Finding a job in bioinformatics/biology with degree in chemistry

Question

[nasbelyakova]

Now I am ending my PhD in chemistry but love to switch to research in biology (bioinformatics or biochemistry). I already have wide knowledge in biology via university courses and latter learning with MOOCs, as well as programming. Please give a hint on getting a job in biology.

I suggest to first decide if you want to work in biology or bioinformatics, those are very different prospects! Look for job openings that interest you and then apply. Before that, try to get a feed-back on your application documents from others. After applying, try to get some kind of feed-back from the institute. Not much more one can say.

Thank you, but the problem is that all jobs require relevant degree and experience. Unfortunately.
