We’ve aimed to balance the breadth of roles in health and medical research with the need for a clear, user-friendly map, so the roles and connections shown are not exhaustive.
Please note: a) While the roles in this careers map are grouped into broad categories - entry-level, mid-level, and advanced - based on typical seniority, roles within each category are not necessarily presented in order of seniority. b) Some important roles, such as those in manufacturing and business development, were excluded as they fall outside our definitions of direct or supporting research roles. c) Role levels have been simplified (e.g. junior and senior) to improve navigation and readability. d) While we’ve included common alternative titles, job titles vary widely across the sector and similar roles may appear under different names. e) The map focuses on commonly observed pathways - many other career transitions are possible. f) We acknowledge that CROs may participate in translational research; however for the purposes of this map, they have been classified under clinical research, as this is the primary focus of their activities.
