Research Roles
Our clients’ R&D departments attract scientists from most disciplines including chemists, biologists, pharmacologists and microbiologists.

You could work in the lab across a number of projects, or apply your scientific training to clinical trials, regulatory work, studies of health economics or even statistics.

Our client base across our Pharma and Biotech clients will cover your needs and present you with a number of options to enter the private sector.
Public Sector Work
Not all R&D takes place within the private sector, in most countries including where you will find an Adaptive office (UK, Germany, USA, Singapore) you will find numerous public bodies carrying out the latest R&D across not just Pharmaceutical products but also within Robotics, A.I., imaging techniques etc.

These leading Universities and Public Bodies won't necessarily have the deadlines a Private Sector business will have with their shareholders and profit warnings....meaning R&D in the Public Sector setting can often be a more rewarding long term answer to your desire to make a difference
