Hello all. I am a new member and this is my first post to the forum. I will be receiving my Ph.D. this year and am looking for some career advise. As much as I love the intellectual work of research science, I have come to realize that bench work is just not for me. My true passion and skills lie in working with numbers, planning projects, and data analysis. I would really like to move into infectious disease research, but more on the applied side of the coin. I have seen many positions with the government and industry that involve working on clinical trails of vaccines and infectious disease treatments and doing efficacy studies of vaccine programs, or planning and implementing such programs. This is exactly the kind of work I would like to do, but my basic research background (cell biology, development, etc.) does not really fit into these job descriptions. I have found many clinical research training programs on the web at various universities and have thought a bit about getting a Masters in Public Health. I am just not sure which of these courses (or another altogether) might be the right one for the career path I would like to take. If anyone has made a transition such as this, or has any good advice about how to do so I would really appreciate it. Thanks for taking the time to help out!
