Our Story
Our story is likely much like yours. A group of former PhDs who, after years of toiling in the academic sector, found themselves feeling disenchanted by the frustration, limitations, and red tape that came with our work. Feeling stuck by our own success, we started to ask ourselves a simple question: Could the experience, skill-sets, and expertise gained through our years in academia pave the way for success in industry as highly sought-after professionals?
The answer, we found, was yes. A resounding yes. We discovered that top companies in industry were eager to add highly qualified and highly distinguished PhDs to their roster. They just had to find these PhDs first.
And so Cheeky Scientist was born, a company built by PhDs, working to help other PhDs get hired into their dream careers so they could finally have the impact, recognition and compensation they deserve.

I just completed 4 months at my present company and successfully transitioned, from the training process to working full-time in the team in the team I was hired for, this last week! I never fully thanked Cheeky for all the help they gave me in the training in the job search process, in a way that I was able to realize succes on one of the first jobs I applied for, only a bit more than a couple of months after joining the association. I heard and was told it was possible to have such quick results,but I never believed that it would happen to me; for this I am deeply grateful for you all! Joining CSA was one of the best decision I have ever made, and is something that will still help me for many years to come, for as long as my career goes on!"
