What types of chemical or chemical- adjacent roles can be done remotely? What jobs require traveling and thus less time spent at a home-base location? How do bench chemists market themselves for such roles? Chemistry is described as the “central science,” and I tend to think of performing and analyzing chemical reactions to be at the center of the central science. These two activities must be done in a properly equipped laboratory. Everything else—purchasing, planning, report writing, budgeting, and sales—can all be done remotely. I suspect that 10–25% of the staff of the business side of chemistry worked from afar before the pandemic. For example, the sales force for chemical companies has likely been fully remote for the last 10 years. Regulatory, legal, and quality assurance work can also be done remotely. For those who like traveling, sales is the obvious role. If you’d like to combine hands-on technical expertise
