                                <p>There are two different, unaffiliated companies that use the name MERCK. Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, which operates this website, uses the firm name &#34;Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany,&#34; in the United States and Canada, and also uses &#34;MilliporeSigma&#34; in life science, &#34;EMD Serono&#34; in healthcare and &#34;EMD Electronics&#34; in the electronics business. The other company, Merck &amp; Co., Inc. holds the rights in the trademark MERCK in the United States and Canada. Merck &amp; Co. is not affiliated with or related to Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, which owns the MERCK trademark in all other countries of the world. To reflect such fact and to avoid any confusion, certain logos, terms and business description of the publication on this website have been substituted or modified, such as by referring to &#34;Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany&#34; instead of &#34;Merck&#34; standing alone. Publications on this webpage, therefore, slightly deviate from the otherwise identical versions accessible outside the United States and Canada.</p>
<p>We are committed to an equitable hiring process for candidates from a diverse range of backgrounds. As part of this commitment, applicants with disabilities may be entitled to reasonable accommodations.  Please contact <a href="mailto:USLeavesandAccommodations&#64;milliporesigma.com">USLeavesandAccommodations&#64;milliporesigma.com</a><span style="	background-color: transparent;
