Chemical engineers pursuing BS, MS and PhD degrees with an emphasis in data science are in demand. In the chemical industries, jobs are available across the entire enterprise -- from research & development, to pilot plants & production, and to customer relations & business management -- where ChEs can use their domain expertise. Outside the chemical industries, ChEs are also in strong demand, because of their strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Plus, universities are seeking young faculty members to leverage their combined ChE/DS background to start their own groups while collaborating with colleagues in multiple research areas.
