Prospects
The jobs in which chemical scientists are involved are related to industries manufacturing diverse products. It also includes the production of chemicals and allied products.
Job avenues
A chemist works in research and development, management, Marketing, production, teaching and in many other applied fields. Industrial growth has created a great demand for trained chemist and this trend is expected to continue. Chemical scientists interested in environment have enough opportunities in this field. The electronic, paper pulp, metal, cement and aerospace industries also offer job opportunities. Agricultural chemists research for better and improved crop cultivation developing fertilizers and agricultural chemicals. Other fields offering opportunities are molecular biology, biotechnology and polymer chemistry, textiles, petroleum, rubber, plastics, agricultural products, paper, pharmaceuticals food, fertilizers and paints. The army service corps recruits women who have postgraduate degree in organic chemistry/Biochemistry as food scientist. Graduates in chemistry are enrolled for the army ordinance corps.
