I am a PhD student in genetic epidemiology. I greatly enjoy working on research (both my own projects and those of other people), but I do not like teaching.
I am wondering what my career options might be after graduation if I want to keep doing research but I do not want to teach. I want to be able to continue to pursue my own research interests/ideas/projects at least 25-50% of the time. I would like to work in an environment that is collaborative where I spend some time working on or consulting on other peoples' projects too.
Does this sort of position exist? If so, what is it called? Where can I find postings for jobs like this, and how can I find people with jobs like this that I could contact for informational interviews?
