I have PhD in Pharmaceutics from India. I came to USA 6 years ago on H1B. Subsequently I diverted my career to IT since at that time IT was booming and there were several employers ready to sponsor green card. Now I got green card and consider myself settled in USA. BUT as there is a say that for anything you do you have to pay the price. I paid the price that I left pharmaceutics apart during my journey of 6 years in states. Now, again my mind is started functioning in pharmaceutics direction but I am not getting any opportunity. Can someone advise me what I should do in order to again enter in the field of pharmaceutics or else where in scientific research. Is there any other new area which I can learn and move forward as I am very seriously thinking to get in pharmaceutical or biotechnological areas. Please advise me.

Thank you all in anticipation and regards,
Sankaran Kumaramangalam
 
Anything related to pharmaceutical or biotechnological related software development

Thanks for the ideas you provided. Since I possess experiences in software quality assurance in US, is there anything I can pursue in order to combine PhD in Pharmaceutics and QA experiences in US.

Try IT department of pharmaceuticals.

Try IT dept. All pharmaceutical company has IT dept. so it will be nice combination for you. Though I am not sure how avialable the job is after IT market crashed. Lots of ppl laid off and application for single vacancy may rocket high now.
 
No Title

Sankum,

You may want to try Biotech companies. They often hire people for Bioinformatics positions. For that you usually have to have background in Biology (research), and proven track of programming experience. I don\'t know if your job in IT involved programming, but it\'s a must.

Anyway, all the best !
