For bio-med science, a good place to check is The Woodlands, Texas just north of Houston.

Try Wyoming. I understand it is like NH but without all the Massholes.

Hampton VA. It has alot of research facilities but is close to Smithfield VA or Williamsburg or even my town Suffolk where you can have lots of country living.

I was going to say Atlanta, what with the CDC and all that, but it fails when it comes to your need to get away from the city type stuff....

virginia is nice and there are quite a few research centers there....

Any university in the nation generally has an animal science department, so that could open up quite a few avenues for you possibly...

There's a website called FindYourSpot that's kinda fun. You fill out a survey and give a little info (name, not much-just to prove it's you)

Based on your preferences they identify 20 places you could live.

Enjoy...it's fun.

Here's a link to a search function on HomeGain.com that you can input the criteria you want in a "neighborhood" and return the results:

HomeGain Neighborhood Search

Here's a cost of living comparison calculator that you input your current city and salary and chose the city you're moving to. It will show you what you need to make in that city to have the same cost of living you have now:

Hope this helps. Good luck.

Texas A&M University, Animal Science Department, information..979-845-1541.

One of the finest places on earth....

The Research Triangle Park between Raleigh, Durham and Chappel Hill NC has a lot of bio med type companies doing research. One that I know a little about is Embrex.

Embrex, Inc., an agricultural biotechnology company, provides solutions to the poultry industry in the United States. It focuses on developing patented biological and mechanical products that improve bird health.

Its stock ticker symbol is EMBX.

You could find much better living conditions in NC

The Research Triangle Park is within 15 miles of NC State, Duke and UNC.

You took the words right out of my mouth. Not to mention quality of life and cost of living are very good in the Bryan/College Station area. You're just a short drive from all Houston has to offer.

[MikefromOhio]

yeah...

I am sure, given your experience, that they would let you work on that AND have a job at the same time if you found the right situation....

Despite Paul Allen's huge investment in a "biotech center" here, I would suggest that you do NOT move to Washington State. If you think the Massholes are annoying, try dealing with the granolas who don't bathe for a week.

I just finished a contract study for a small company in that area. Perhaps I should include a resume in the data shipment

Are you a recruiter for the Aggies? It certainly sounds like it

Since your area is animal science, have you considered the Auburn-Opelika Alabama area. Auburn University and Tuskegee Institute are within a short distance of each other, 30 miles maybe, and both have Vet schools I believe. I could not tell if you toxology work has been with animals too, but if so you might find a someone with a grant that would hire you in the area. [Also regardless of area shouldn't you be looking for companies like feed producers that do work in your field that are located in an area you like?]

Auburn-Oplelika is small town and conservative, but you might hear some rap music probably as often at Auburn as at Tuskegeee. Alabama is 26% or so African-American if that is a problem for you.

I don't live in that area but I do live in Alabama. We have great public golf, nice weather and a pretty low cost of living. Like all places AL has it plusses and minuses, but that part of AL might be a place you could find employment in your area and escape many of your complaints of the northeast and live a better lifestyle. I don't think you will escape rap music any place.
