Jobs in Sports Chemistry

With a degree in chemistry or in any kind of science field, you can get numerous jobs.  One of the jobs you may be interested in is in sports chemistry.  These kinds of jobs are varied in what you would be working with.  You could be working with althetes, to help them improve their performance, or you could be working on making materials to improve sports equipment. 

Maybe you are interested in getting a job at Gatorade, this is a company that works closely with althetes to develop new ways to hydrate them.  Here is a cooler website than the one above - that includes people who work in performance labs.  The Gatorade labs are located in Barrington, Illinois.

Here is a website that is more about getting a degree in sports medicine and getting a job after that. 

Here is some information about working for Sports Technology International.  They are the company that makes the polymers surfaces, that was featured in an earlier post.  They have manufacturing facilities in Pennsylvania, Shanghai, and Australia.

If you are interested in working closer to home, here is a website from BASF, and they are located in Research Triangle Park.

This is my last sports and chemistry post of the summer session.  I am going to miss writing them for you.  I have learned a lot from writing them, and also from your questions.  I hope that whatever you do with your lives, you will be happy, safe, and healthy.  Keep your eye out for one more post on Monday's lab!
