Looking for some cool biology jobs?

Biology is the study of life. And with that focus comes great opportunity to make an impact in many fields. There are some awesome biology jobs you can get with a biology degree. We’ve listed sevenbiology jobs on this page, but it only scratches the surface of the many things you can do with a degree.

Conservation Scientist

The goal of a conservation scientist is a commendable one. The purpose of a conservation scientist’s work is to improve and protect natural resources. In order to make the best impact possible, conservation scientists work with governmental agencies and landowners to help find ways to both protect land and to use it wisely. They also help farmers find better ways to farm and to prevent soil erosion.

Biological Technician

Biological technicians have the opportunity to assist with research and studies. A lot of the work is done in the lab helping other biologists conduct their experiments precisely, accurately and consistently. The great part about this career is that there are many different areas one can focus their work on, such as medical research, biotechnology and biochemistry, to name a few.

Teacher

Were you inspired to pursue biology by a great teacher you had in high school? If you want to have a direct impact on lives around you, teaching may be one of the best biology jobs for you. High school teachers usually teach grades 9-12 and have five or six groups of students throughout the day. It’s a great chance to have a positive impact on someone who is deciding what they want to do with their lives.

Nutritionist

Nutritionists help others meet their nutritional and dietary goals. For example, they may help an athlete train by selecting the best foods for a workout routine. They can also help others with dietary restrictions and needs. They can help point out options for those who are diabetic or have restrictions, such as lactose intolerance or celiac disease.

Allergist

Do you know someone who is affected by an allergy or had an allergic reaction? When people find out that they have an allergy, they see an allergist for further diagnosis. Allergists have the ability to help treat many different allergies, including asthma and other food, medical and environmental allergies.

Hydrologist

While on the surface this career path may seem a little dry (pun intended), in reality there are a lot of interesting biology jobs within this field. Water is vital for life, and a hydrologist learns about the quality and the movement of water above and below the surface of the earth. They help create irrigation systems, hydroelectric power plans, and flood warnings. Essentially, this is a lot more versatile a path than what first meets the eye. Something to definitely look into.

Physical Therapist

This one takes some more schooling and can be quite competitive, but a biology degree can get you in the door to a PT program. Physical therapists help those with injuries or illness move along the road to recovery. They help individuals relieve pain, increase strength, and improve their ability to get around. Physical therapists have the ability to practice on all patients, while others prefer to specialize within the field. For example, some physical therapists focus on pediatrics. Still, be sure to look into this career field; it’s a tangible way to make an impact on someone’s life.

Even if you’re still on the fence about this career choice, be sure to investigate some other awesome biology jobs you can get with a proper degree.
