'This work situation has given me the vibrant and varied workdays I was after. My schedule is constantly changing and the … projects I’m tasked to work on are always new, affording me opportunities to learn and grow.' ScienceWorkingLife ScienceCareers
I sat at my desk wondering whether I would ever feel as engaged in and proud of my work as I had in academia. My job in the R&D division of a cosmetics company was coming easy to me and resulting in products on the shelves. But I thought constantly about what else I could do. I missed the feeling of risk and adventure that being a scientist at the edge of a discovery gives. I knew I didn’t want to go back to academia, where I would have to hyperspecialize and study the same thing every day.
Through one of those contacts, I landed a job identifying scientific evidence behind cosmetic ingredients and researching new technologies. The stability and great workplace atmosphere lifted my spirits. But the work was mostly literature searches and summaries, and after a while it didn’t excite me anymore.
I slowly built up my portfolio, eventually filling out my schedule with three part-time positions. I started by joining a global company as intellectual property manager, overseeing its patent and trademark portfolio—work that only requires a few mornings a week. Later, I added another role one to two mornings a week working as a patent scientist in a law firm that specializes in intellectual property.
