Post-doctoral Research Scientists: have you considered a career in Marketing Research?

If you are a research scientist wondering how you might make a career transition into the corporate world then you should consider a position in market research. Forethought is a dynamic environment where you can gain very quick realisation of your efforts, in terms of research implementation.

At Forethought some of our most successful and highest paid staff have made the transition; indeed two of our firm’s partners were previously Research Scientists. The most common qualification at Forethought is PhD.

Forethought is an award winning Melbourne-based marketing research firm. We conduct research in services markets with leading edge clients in Australia and internationally.

The two main avenues for Research Scientist to join Forethought are via our Marketing Science group of eight analysts (undertaking survey design or statistical analysis) or joining our 30 consultants working to solve clients’ business problems using primary data (almost all data collection is outsourced).

It is expected that you will have at least three years of Post-doctoral Research experience and be able to demonstrate high levels of achievement in your past roles. You will also be articulate and enthusiastic. You will have a history of building client relationships and possibly business development.

We are located in the CBD. However, some travel may be required. In addition to an attractive salary package, you will have an opportunity to work with like-minded passionate individuals with strong career aspirations. You will also have an opportunity to participate in our leading training and development program.
