Chemists may do some or all of the following:
-
develop methods and equipment to study chemical compounds
-
test chemical samples to determine their make-up and properties
-
think of ways to make new chemical compounds
-
work with industries to develop chemical processes
-
carry out experiments and write up the results
-
publish articles in scientific journals

teach and supervise students and/or staff.
