Survey on Starting Salaries of Chemists and Chemical Engineers. 

Salaries in drug discovery research vary widely with such factors as degree level, scientific field experience, size of the company, and geographical region. The best and most current source of information on how all these factors affect the amount of money a chemist can expect to make is the annual American Chemical Society (ACS) salary survey, results of which are published in the Chemical Engineering News. Every candidate should check this out before interviewing. Some pertinent data from the most current one (2006) are summarized in Table 11.1. 

As far as the general membership is concerned the Society carries out public relations on a large scale to increase the prestige of chemists in the public esteem and to assist local sections in publicizing their events. It fosters professional interests of many kinds, notably by its periodical surveys of salaries, by the publication of booklets on seeking employment, and by a variety of articles on professional topics in Chemical Engineering News.

Starting Salaries 1996 reports starting wages by divisions of the chemical industry like plastics and pharmaceuticals. It also presents them by the highest academic degree granted to employed chemists who completed the questionnaire. Salaries 1996 analyzes chemists employment rates and other data. Staff writers at ACS excerpt both reports for periodical publications like Chemical and Engineering News, Today s Chemist at Work, and even the British journal Chemistry and Industry. Chemical libraries offer all these periodicals to readers. The survey typically harvests more information than the reports can hold, so the ACS Ofiice of Career Services makes the overflow available to inquirers.
