If scientific disciplines were dishes on the menu of a global restaurant, Nanotechnology would be accompanied by five red starsthe field is hot. It should come as no surprise then that along with headlines and boatloads of government funding and investment, nanotechnology is also grabbing the attention of employers as well as jobseekers.

Most nanotechnology companies right now are looking to fill senior scientist and executive positions. They already have extensive access to Information technology, administrative, and technical personnel due to the widespread publicity and hype of most of these companies. In most cases, these companies are currently being very selective. In particular, they want specific knowledge of nanotechnology methods and procedures that can be documented.

Nanotechnology provides you the job opportunities  in disciplines as chemistry, physics, materials science, biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, biomedical engineering and devices, micro fluidics, micro arrays, information technology, optics, mechanical, electrical, and chemical engineering, micro- and nano-electromechanical engineering (MEMS and NEMS), and other relevant fields.

This means that, in order to maximize your likelihood of consideration for the positions in nanotechnology companies, you really need to educate yourself as much as possible in the nanotechnology fields.

Combining interdisciplinary teaching with cutting edge research, Nano Science and Technology Consortium (NSTC) flagship course in Nanotechnology is designed to train the next generation of Nanotechnologists.
