Choosing the right career path. A done deal or still deciding? Either
way, as a new pharmaceutical scientist, you have a wealth of choice out
there, and we’d like to invite you to an informal, two-day forum that
could open up new and unthought-of avenues.

Feedback from the 2011 event:
“An excellent opportunity for me to learn about the different positions
and career types available within the pharmaceutical industry. As a
final year PhD student, I found it very helpful in making decisions
about my next career choices and clarifying my objectives.” Cristina Fante, Post-graduate student, University of Reading
“My personal favourites were the tour, the CV and careers workshops and
'A Day in the life of Panel', which gave a good insight into the reality
of career options. The conference felt jam packed, and the busy schedule
showed good value for money. I would definitely recommend this
conference to others.” Natalie Kelk, Chemistry Student, University of
Edinburgh
Thinking of a career in pharmaceutical sciences?
For some of you, this will be your final year at University. For others,
you are just beginning your studies. But all of you will be thinking of
what your future career may hold. What are you going to do with your
degree? What avenues are open to you? The New Scientists Focus Group can
help you as you embark on your career within the Pharmaceutical
Sciences.
The New Scientists’ Focus Group (NSFG) resides within the Academy of
Pharmaceutical Sciences (APS). It encourages the development of new
scientists from the multidisciplinary pharmaceutical arena via
educational sessions, careers and CV advice and provision of
opportunities to interact with each other and eminent scientists. We
deliver this through the provision of learning and networking events,
such as “Industrial Insights”.
The New Scientists Focus Group comprises members from academia, industry
and government working together to deliver these aims. The environment
created by the group at its events actively encourages interaction
between new and experienced scientists. To date this has been achieved
through a series of seminars, workshops and articles organised and
written over the last 15 years. The NSFG is also actively involved in
organising and chairing a speaker session at the annual APS PharmSci
conference – the premier UK Pharmaceutical Science conference. Through
its sessions at the APS PharmSci conference, the group provides a unique
opportunity to post-doctoral researchers, lecturers and new scientists
to communicate their research to the wider pharmaceutical world.
