Pathways to Science Pathways to Science For scientists who thrive in a challenging production environment, Merck offers exceptional choices. Scientists work closely with professionals from Research and Development, Manufacturing, and Marketing. This approach fosters an in-depth understanding of diverse operations and gives a broad perspective of the entire company. Scientists, on multidisciplinary teams, solve business issues and introduce new products and processes. As a science graduate, you can develop your potential as a traditional laboratory scientist, business manager, or technical manager, advancing in directions that fit your skills and objectives.
Manufacturing actively recruits candidates who have strong technical and interpersonal skills.
We seek academic degrees from bachelor to doctoral levels in pharmacy, chemistry, and the life sciences. When new processes are brought into manufacturing from research or outside licensures, scientists work on teams to support diverse processing techniques. Ranging from traditional organic synthesis to recombinant DNA technology, these skilled teams are essential to the start-up and continued development effort. Biologists implement complex bioanalytical techniques throughout the Quality Control laboratories. Pharmacists optimize the development of final pharmaceutical dosage forms.
