Bioscience Careers group logo

The Bioscience Careers Group (now the Careers Committee) brought together a number of learned societies and trade bodies representing the biosciences who work together to provide information and advice on careers in the biosciences.

 

These organisations promote and support people working in a particular bioscience discipline, whose members can include academics, researchers, students and teachers. They organise scientific conferences, publish specialist journals, books and other resources, run competitions and awards, offer travel grants and bursaries and funding for summer studentships for their members.

Resources

The Bioscience Careers Group has created the 'Make A Difference' website with information on the wide range of opportunities that a career in biology can bring.

  • Making applications and interview techniques
