🏢 Job Prospects as a Bioinformatics Graduate
Studying bioinformatics, I was often asked where you can work as a bioinformatician. In my experience, about 80% of bioinformatics position are in research or the public sector. The problem with research positions is that they are usually fixed-term (e.g. two years) because these positions are often financed using project funds. In the public sector, bioinformaticians are often sought after in the medical field (e.g. in hospitals) and in health-related government institutions. The advantage of positions in the public-sector is that they are frequently permanent. However, a job in a public institution such as a hospital often involves system administration duties such as setting up computers and databases - tasks that have little to do with bioinformatics itself. Moreover, both research and public-sector positions offer relatively low salaries compared to industry.
In my estimation, only about 20% of bioinformatics positions are in industry. Why is the percentage so low? In my view, the main reason is that only industry sector that employs bioinformaticians is big pharma. Here, bioinformaticians are needed to perform tasks such as:
Modeling: Estimation of protein structures and simulation of molecular interactions
Data processing: processing and analyzing sequencing data, for example, from next-generation sequencing or single-cell sequencing
Virtual screening: discovery of leads (potential new drugs) using computational methods
Data science: analysis and interpretation of data
Since bioinformatics is very research-oriented and jobs in industry are few, many graduates (maybe 40%) join PhD programs. The ones joining industry usually work in non-bioinformatics positions, for example, as IT consultants, software developers, solutions architects, or data scientists.
Some people advise against studying bioinformatics because it is supposed to be difficult to find a job afterwards. I didn’t have that experience at all and I received many job offers from recruiters. I would argue that, having a bioinformatics degree, job prospects are fine, considering that bioinformaticians have a special skill set, which makes them attractive for companies:
--Bioinformatics graduates exhibit the characteristics of T-shaped professionals. This allows them to perform a variety of tasks and to act as facilitators in interdisciplinary teams.
-Bioinformatics graduates often have more practical experience writing software than computer-science graduates.
-Bioinformatics graduates are keen learners. Their proficiency in multiple disciplines demonstrates that they can easily adapt to new situations.
