Successful careers event at the University of Nottingham

15 Jul 2013

On 2July, six Royal Society of Chemistry members at the University of Nottingham’s School of Chemistry organised “Chemistry Careers – What’s Next?”. The event showcased the diversity of careers available with a chemistry-related background and attracted over 100 students and research staff.

Speakers and organisers at 'Chemistry Careers - what's next?'

There were speakers from professions including R&D, patent law, publishing, consultancy, teaching, business and marketing. A recruitment consultant described the current job market and plenty of advice was available on how to best find and apply for jobs. A networking session gave delegates the opportunity to talk to all speakers in an informal and relaxed environment.

I gave an overview of my career pathway to date, highlighting roles within the Royal Society of Chemistry graduate scheme, my experience working as an editor and my current role as campaigns manager within marketing.

Commenting of the event, Amy Goddard, Chair of the PhD Forum, said: “The event was a huge success and I have no doubt it will be repeated in future years.”

Here at the Royal Society of Chemistry, we’ve got the support, the resources and connections to benefit chemistry graduates – for life! Find out more about our member benefits and services, including careers advice and professional development.

Environmental Science: Nano now open for submissions!

09 Jul 2013

Great news: Environmental Science: Nano‘s Editorial Offices are now open!

Associate Editors James Hutchison (University of Oregon) and Gregory Lowry (Carnegie Mellon University) are welcoming submissions of high quality research on the interactions of nanomaterials with biological and environmental systems.

But what’s different about this journal?

Until now there has been no high impact society journal dedicated to publishing the latest findings on the interaction of nanomaterials with environmental and biological systems, which, as Editor-in-Chief Vicki Grassian puts it, ‘is an enormously important aspect of the development of sustainable nanotechnologies for improving human and environmental health’. Find out more about the scope

Why should you submit?

Environmental Science: Nano will be:

High impact – only publishing the most novel and exciting advances
A leader – the Editorial Board will drive scientific development, with the Associate Editors responsible for peer review and editorial decisions
Interdisciplinary – connecting scientists working in a range of areas, including chemistry, earth sciences, engineering, ecotoxicology and nanoscience
Internationally visible – free access to all content published during 2014 and 2015, guaranteeing maximum exposure
Rapid – offering the speedy publication and excellent service for which the Royal Society of Chemistry is renowned

And unlike some other journals, Environmental Science: Nano has no page charges or page limits and it won’t charge you for using colour to enhance scientific understanding of your figures.

When should you submit? And how?

As soon as possible! Submit your manuscript via the website for the chance to be included in the high profile first issue.
