Careers in Government

This virtual live, 90-minute session will provide an overview of the federal job landscape for chemists, including information on the types of jobs available, how to find jobs, and navigating the federal job application process. The presentation will also explain the federal coding system for chemists and chemical engineers and provide data about employment by geography, discipline, department, and agency to help participants match job opportunities with their experience, strengths, and values. 

After attending this session, you will be able to: 

• Identify the types of jobs available to chemists with the federal government
• Find available job opportunities through a variety of sources
• Understand how to navigate the federal job application process

The first half of the workshop will feature a presentation by an ACS Career Consultant, while the last half will allow participants the opportunity to ask questions and network in small breakout groups led by ACS Career Consultants.
