EmploymentCrossing, the world’s premier job-opening research institution, announced the launch of ResearchingCrossing on Monday. The site is dedicated solely to professionals seeking research job openings. Using a proprietary technology, ResearchingCrossing monitors research jobs featured on other job boards and employer websites, and displays every research job it can find. The site aims to consolidate every single active research job opening in one convenient location.

Pasadena, CA — The research field offers a variety of extremely rewarding and satisfying careers. The goal of a research professional is to investigate a given problem and develop a solution that advances the state of knowledge about that problem. With more and more companies creating research departments and feeding an ever-increasing demand for research professionals, EmploymentCrossing has created a new niche job board designed exclusively for research professionals.

ResearchingCrossing (www.researchingcrossing.com) was launched to help research professionals carve niches for themselves in various industries. ResearchingCrossing lists jobs from every industry that caters to research professionals, including the biotechnology, nanotechnology, pharmaceutical, chemical, electronics, aerospace, and automotive industries, among others.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), scientific research and development services provided 593,000 jobs in 2006. Research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences fields accounted for about 89% of the jobs; the rest were in research and development in the social sciences and humanities. The BLS also reported that the number of jobs in this category is expected to increase by about 10% over the next 10 years. Despite the weak economy of late, the job prospects for research professionals are very bright, especially for clinical research professionals.

Oftentimes the most difficult part of finding a research job is simply getting started. Since many research jobs are not widely advertised, it can be difficult to find the right job to match one’s interests and requirements. ''In this market, it is extremely hard to get a job with a recruiter, and recruiters typically work with very few companies,'' says Harrison Barnes, founder and CEO of ResearchingCrossing. ''Job openings that are not widely known or publicized are the easiest jobs to get.'' With its comprehensive collection of research job openings, ResearchingCrossing is the ideal place to look for such research-oriented jobs.

According to Barnes, the most popular searches on the site thus far have been:

• research jobs
• Internet research jobs
• market research job
• clinical research job
• marketing research jobs
• jobs research analyst
• research careers
• science jobs
• chemistry jobs
• biotechnology jobs
• psychology jobs

''There are an astonishing number of research job openings out there. We want to find them all,'' says Barnes.

ResearchingCrossing charges $29.95 a month to view its job-opening research. As part of the site’s launch special, however, ResearchingCrossing is offering a free, seven-day trial to allow job seekers to familiarize themselves with the service.
