The job description of a chemist is very diverse. Many chemists go to the chemical industry after completing their doctorate. Here there are possible uses in research, product development, production, analytics, environmental protection, marketing, patenting, public relations, etc. The federal and state authorities, as well as local authorities, also employ chemists. Here they are mainly used in the areas of surveillance, environmental protection, approval, and supply. Clinics also hire chemists and biochemists. In addition, some chemists with doctoral degrees are also aiming for an academic career at the university.
