After earning her doctorate in cell biology at the University of Pennsylvania in June, Sierra Collins did what many freshly minted Ph.D.s. do — she went looking for a job at a biotech company. But what was supposed to be a straightforward search has turned into an odyssey.

So far, those efforts have been unsuccessful.
