Hi Friends

I\'ve recently come here from India. I\'ve a master\'s degree in Microbiology. Does any one of know how the career prospects here in USA for my qualification...? I\'m authorized to work here on EAD, so no need of sponsorship for H1 etc...

Any inputs, guidance on how to start my career in Microbiology is greatly appreciated...

Thanks
 
Jobs for microbiologist

My wife has the same degree and I\'m trying to summarize
her experiences cause she doesn\'t monitor this list

Couple of options:

1) Get into a research company
   MOst of these jobs look for some experience. So it\'s tough
getting the first break. She has not had much luck in here.

2) Get into labs
  Most of the labs look for a certification - clinical lab scientist.
THis is a certification given by dept of health services.
You\'ve to undergo 6 months of classes and around 10 months
of internship for gettng this certificate. My understanding is
there is a need for this kind of people.

http://www.sfsu.edu/~cbls for more info.

If you\'ve ur degree from India, you need to take some pre-reqs
to enroll in this course. Math, Physics, analytical chemistry & haemotology

3) Public health microbiologist
  These are employed by state government. THis requires evaluation
of the degree and 6 months of internship at labs suggested by
the dept of health services.

Thanks for the info !

Hi him,

Thanks for the very useful information. Have you done any research on what will be the pay for the above positions...?

Could you possibly show me the ropes on how to get into the research company or to pursue as Public health microbiologist...? I\'m really new here and just need some guidance.

Could you give me the URLs if you have any about this information...?

Clinical Lab Scientist certification program is offered only by SFSU and nowhere else in USA, if I\'m not wrong. Unfortunately, I\'m in New Jersey.

Thanks a lot once again, I appreciate your response...
