One of the most commented entries on this blog is about the launch of the DuBiotech, most of which are from readers interested in landing a job there. Unfortunately, as I've already tried to explain, I or this blog has nothing to do with DuBiotech or its recruitment teams. For those of you looking into a career in biotechnology and life science industry, you might want to get hold of a new book published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press which provides an overview of careers in the life science industry, advice on tailoring a job search, and guidance on making the transition.

Career Opportunities in Biotechnology and Drug Development is designed for science students and graduates, active researchers, as well as those in medical, business, legal, high-tech, or engineering professions looking to transition into life science industry. Those already working in industry will find helpful information on how to take advantage of opportunities within their own companies and elsewhere. The book will also be a valuable tool for career guidance counselors, as they assist students in making wiser and more informed choices about a potential career in biotech or pharma.

The remainder of the book provides a systematic and comprehensive overview of more than 100 careers in industry-everything from discovery research to venture capital investment is covered in detail. Read more here. You may also get the book from Amazon for $59.00.
