Where to find temp and contract jobs in bioinformatics/computational bio?
I'm having trouble landing a position (academic or industry) as a ph.d with only academic experience. (even poorly paid postdoc positions are demanding top level experience and publications) And advice that I'm hearing over and over again is to get a contract or temporary position in industry to help bridge into a full time regular one. And social media is full of people crowing about their success stories sliding into a full time position after a contract.
But uh...where would I find one? Linkedin seems to have overwhelmingly mid senior level full time. Other sites like Handshake are similarly bare. The closest thing available are internships for current Ph.D students which I don't qualify for.
Checking with the websites of recruiters and they mostly have just low level manufacturing jobs driving around a forklift or compounding drugs that don't really fit my background and they never seem to get back to me when I contact them for help. The few contracts there appear to mostly be for wet lab manufacturing.
Where are these bounty of computational contract and temp jobs that are gating all these people to better work?
