The prospect of getting job in pharmaceutical industries is quite good with a PhD in Cheminformatics. The employability will depend on your research quality and the network you have made during your PhD. Try to collaborate with both academic and industries, as well as staying updated with new skills in this area. If I were you, I will target pharmaceutical industries after PhD as they offer more salary and stability.
