Two-Part Series on Government Jobs – PART TWO: WHICH FEDERAL AGENCIES & CONTRACTORS HIRE SCIENTISTS?
Submitted By: Amanda Dumsch
Which agencies hire scientists? While the OITE is an NIH entity, great science happens in other divisions all across government. Almost all of these places hire scientists for both bench and non-bench positions. Non-bench positions can include: science administration (grants management from almost every agency, managing research programs, career development training), science policy (how innovative science is completed and promoted), regulation (determining if a drug is safe or an agricultural product is good for the environment).
