medical supply companies that conduct tests on products
to meet government standards. These positions will continue
to grow as pharmaceutical companies expand their range of
products but many medical researchers are worried about their
reputations while working in the private sector. A niche market
for medical researchers exists in non-profit and advocacy
agencies looking for independent research. The number of medical
research jobs in the non-profit field remains small though
the growth in philanthropic efforts funding these positions
has grown in the 21st century.
These jobs combine the high-minded ethical standards associated
with university work with the resources available to medical
researchers in the private sector. The problem with advocacy
and non-profit positions is the uncertainty associated with
philanthropic funding. These positions are ideal for younger
researchers in need of experience as well as older scientists
who have built up a retirement fund from other positions.
