The path

In Hong Kong, scientific researchers usually work in the universities.

They may start as a research assistant in the laboratory and be promoted to assistant professor, associate professor and then professor later according to their experience and research performance.

Some researchers work in commercial corporations too, especially in the drug companies.

Since Hong Kong is a small city, there may not be a very wide range of research to meet the fresh graduates' research interests.

They may go overseas to develop their research.
