11 Types Of Industry R&D Careers For PhDs (& How To Avoid Rejection To Get Hired)

$19.99

To thrive in the current economy, all corporations – whether public or private – need to step up their innovation game.  To achieve this, companies, government entities, and even whole countries, need to increase their R&D investment and recruit new talent. As a PhD, you have been trained on how to push the boundaries of knowledge and innovate within your field. Less than 2% of the global population has this kind of knowledge. So why can’t you get an industry R&D position? There are two reasons for this: (1) PhDs often think that only the biopharma and biotech industries can recruit them in R&D positions and even those who apply to those sectors limit their job search to the 1 or 2 industry R&D job titles they’ve heard of. As a result, they miss out on lucrative opportunities within the 7 other industries that are willing to invest on candidates able to drive innovation. (2) PhD applicants often focus too heavily on the technical skills that MS and BS candidates also have or can easily learn and too little on the transferable skills such as leadership, project management, and people management that they gained through their PhD. During the 2008 recession, 70% of companies invested in R&D despite decreased revenue, and executives credit this decision for their companies’ growth when the economy recovered (RVmagnetics). It is expected that companies will replicate this strategy as they confront the current recession. This implies a tremendous opportunity for PhDs no matter their background.

The New World Of R&D Careers For PhDs (& A 6-Part Strategy For Getting Hired)

I told you a couple of weeks ago that we are hitting the pause button on our weekly, free Advanced Topic training webinars, which is why you haven’t been invited to one from me for a while.   While we are still pausing, I just got news from Team Cheeky that we finally finished our 18-month long project of updating one of our most popular Advanced Programs, the R&D Society. I did interviews with CSOs, Directors, Principles Scientists, Senior Scientists and more by video to make this Program leading edge. It’s now one of our most innovative Programs and it includes 6 complete training modules, over 60 training videos, brand new 3rd edition workbooks, and much, much more. To celebrate, I decided to do a very special webinar on “The New World Of R&D Careers For PhDs (& A 6-Part Strategy For Getting Hired). Look - things have changed in industry R&D and these changes are why you haven’t been able to get traction in your job search. It’s why you can’t even get a phone screen or site visit offer.  Consider these new industry R&D concepts… “Equitable innovation", "cross-departmental workflows", "informatics-based outputs", "research org behavior", "change-based data analysis strategies" and of course "supply chain savvy". These are just a few of the new words being used by the world's top R&D companies. These trends and many others are so new that you're not going to find them with a basic online search. How can you learn more about them? You need an industry network? You need "on the ground" knowledge. Do you have any of them on your LinkedIn profile or resume? Can you speak about them intelligently in interviews? Do you even have the words "research", "analysis" or "innovation" It’s time for you to get up-to-date on what your options are in R&D, including all of the new job titles that have been created since the pandemic started in 2020, as well as all the new technologies and concepts being deployed and utilized right now in industry R&D departments worldwide.  Join me and top industry R&D Scientists currently working in industry for this webinar.
