Careers

Career employees,

not placements.

Cogent scientists are hired by Cogent, developed by Cogent and retained by Cogent. You work inside a client laboratory on real programs, with a site lead accountable for your engagement.

Why Cogent

The difference between a placement and a career.

You are employed, not placed

Full employment with benefits from Cogent. Not a rolling contract that ends when a project does.

A site lead, not a coordinator

Someone with a scientific background is accountable for your engagement and your development on site.

Development is funded

Training and progression are paid for by us, because retention is how the model works rather than a perk.

Real programs

Discovery, analytical, bioanalytical and CMC work inside serious research organizations. 

You are not rotated

Scientists are not moved across client engagements to fill gaps elsewhere.

A path, not a placement

We fill team lead roles from within. Several current leads started here.
