Notes on employment for Biological scientists

  • A Ph.D. degree usually is required for independent research, but a master�s degree is sufficient for some jobs in applied research or product development; a bachelor�s degree is adequate for some nonresearch jobs.
  • Doctoral degree holders face considerable competition for independent research positions, particularly in universities; holders of bachelor�s or master�s degrees in biological science can expect better opportunities in nonresearch positions.
  • Biotechnological research and development will continue to drive employment growth.
