Research Scientist

Duties and Responsibilities: Research Scientists work to improve life and health by increasing the world's knowledge about their chosen field of study.  Their interests are many and varied, and often they focus their research in biochemistry, genetics, immunology, microbiology, marine biology, molecular biology, physics, or pathology.  Research scientists may work independently or as part of a team.  Most work in research laboratories, but many work in field situations or teach in colleges, universities, and medical schools. 

Salary:  $25,000 - $75,000

Education: Students should take the most challenging science, math, and English courses available in high school including advanced placement and international baccalaureate courses. 

To work in biomedical scientific research requires at least a master's degree, and a doctorate is required to conduct advanced work or manage research programs or departments.
