Another possible role is a Research Assistant, providing support for scientific experiments and data collection. These roles provide valuable practical experience and a chance to apply theoretical knowledge in a real-world setting. Important certifications to have would include a degree in Chemistry or a related field, and depending on the specific role, a postgraduate degree may be beneficial. Some positions may also require certification from a recognized professional body like the American Chemical Society (ACS).
