Bacteriologist: Seek to answer basic questions about bacterial growth, metabolism, diversity and evolution. 2. Biochemist: Discover and teach us how organisms obtain energy, consume nutrients and reproduce. 3. Biotechnologist: Manipulate genes in order to modify microorganisms. Their work produced novel organisms that make new products for human use. (i.e. insulin, medicine, grocery store items). 4. Cell Biologists: Explore the actions of molecules on and in the cell. Their investigations determine how microorganisms and cell function. 5. Clinical Microbiologist: Determine the cause of infections in humans and animals and what antimicrobials may be effective for treatment. They play a central role in the detection of new infectious agents. 6. Environmental Scientists: Investigate the effects of biological, chemical, and geophysical activity on the environment. Their studies provide information necessary for helping humanity cope with the consequences of life. 7. Epidemiologist: This person studies the origin and tracking of a disease. Investigates sources, etc. 8. Geneticists: The language of life is written with four letters, A, C, G, and T. Each letter taken by itself is meaningless. But together the letter create a code of life. Geneticists study the process by which organisms inherit and transmit genetic information. 9. Immunologists: Investigate the body's defense against disease. to answer basic questions about bacterial growth, metabolism, diversity and evolution. 10. Mycologist: Explore the various uses of molds and yeasts for the production of antibiotics as well as food. 11. Parasitologists: Investigate the complex life cycles of and adaptations made by organisms which depend on other organisms for survival. 12. Science Writer: Write articles for the general public as well as for microbiology professionals. They must have a thorough understanding of language, grammar and science. 13. Teachers: Educate students about the usefulness and uniqueness of microorganisms. JOBS IN FORENSICS: 1. Arson & Fire Investigator: many arson and fire investigators must advance through the ranks of fire departments and law enforcement agencies. 2. Ballistics Expert: Ballistics experts preform a forensic analysis on any and all materials related to a firearm 3. Blood Spatter Analyst: Workers in this field analyze blood evidence on site and in the lab. They may collect trace evidence, take photographs and/or create simulations and reports. 4. Computer Forensics: The position involves a wide range of activities, including ethical hacking, procedures to protect data confidentiality, oral and written communication to legal teams or courts, protection of digital evidence and searches conducted both on site and in the lab. Individuals applying for such positions require knowledge of encryption, a variety of operating systems, network systems, server administration and data retrieval. 5. Crime Lab Analyst: As a sub-specialty of forensic technicians, the crime lab analyst works primarily in the employment of local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. These individuals spend the majority of their time analyzing evidence in the lab and creating reports that are used in the prosecution of alleged criminals. 6. Crime Lab Technician: Crime lab technicians work primarily with evidence that has already been collected. They process it in the lab using microscopes, chemicals and other lab equipment. Some lab technician positions require going into the field to collect evidence or performing analysis in the field. 7. Crime Scene Investigation: A CSI is responsible for researching and understanding various techniques and tools available today to trace criminals and to identify suspects in any type of criminal case. Working with blood samples, evidence and individuals involved at the scene of the crime are often responsibilities of the criminal investigators who are working on the case. 8. Crime Scene Photographer: A crime scene photographer’s job is to literally photograph the crime scene. 9. Crime Scene Technician: The exact requirements that a person must meet to become a crime scene technician depends on the geographical location in which he or she will be providing services. Important personality traits for these types of technicians to have are superb observation skills, ability to communicate well with other people, and in some instances, they will need to have a strong stomach due to the scenes that they will have to investigate. Many times, these types of technicians investigate murder scenes which can be very bloody. 10. Criminal Investigations: You may be responsible for taking fingerprints, working to reconstruct various crime scenes and even collecting and analyzing any type of DNA evidence samples you may find when investigating crime scenes themselves. Interpreting any results from laboratories you receive, examining bullets and other weapons at crime scenes and working to investigate potential suspects may all be tasks that you are required when you are on the job depending on your official title and your personal responsibilities. 11. Criminalistics: Criminalistics, a term stemmed from the German word kriminalistic, is an applied science. It is a field comprised of two subject areas (chemistry and biology) popularly known as “pure” sciences. Criminalists heavily emphasize the laws and key principles of the two sciences while performing lab work, for example: examining, collecting, and even preserving physical evidence from the offense in the crime laboratories. 12. Criminology: Criminology is literally the study of crime. While that may seem simple and a tad bit obvious, the study of criminology and the methods used by criminologists aren’t so cut and dry. Criminologists look to study crime with the impartiality of a scientist. 13. Evidence Technician: Their main job is to collect evidence at the crime scene, process any pertinent information related to the evidence and transport it to an evidence storage location. Some evidence technicians are tasked with monitoring the evidence storage facility itself. 14. Fingerprint Analyst: Most employers of fingerprint analysts require a person to be certified as a Certified Latent Print Examiner. 15. Forensic Accountant: Forensic accountants spend their workdays investigating financial fraud and meticulously looking over financial records and documents searching for irregularities. They use their findings to assist law enforcement agencies with the prosecution of white collar crimes large and large criminal organizations 16. Forensic Anthropologist: Forensic anthropologists specialize in examining human remains and determining how a person died as well as vital statistics about the person including sex, age and possibly other information such as health status. Generally, forensic anthropologists work with skeletons and bones. 17. Forensic Artist: The forensic artist is an important part of a criminal investigation. Most people think of forensic artists as either sketching the face of a suspect based on eyewitness accounts or producing drawings of the proceedings from a closed court room, but forensic artists may also do age progressions on missing individuals, produce images reconstructing faces from morgues for public identification and produce charts or other visuals used in trials. 18. Forensic Ballistics Analyst: A forensic ballistics analyst examines ballistics and firearms that have been recovered from a crime scene. They determine angles of various projectiles and report their findings to the investigative team. Their testimony is often the difference between an innocent verdict and guilty verdict within the court room. 19. Forensic Examiner: A forensic examiner applies forensics to help in legal matters. They evaluate physical evidence to provide scientific findings, and they testify in court cases. They collect a variety of evidence at crime scenes, such as hair, fingerprints, and blood samples. 20. Forensic/Criminal Profiler: ZOOLOGY CAREERS: 1. Zookeepers: are employed by a zoo or aquarium, where they manage and befriend the animals on display. 2. Zoo Curators are responsible for acquiring animals for zoos, either through breeding programs, through purchase from other zoos, or very occasionally from the wild. 3. Animal and Wildlife Educators work in a public venue, such as a sanctuary, museum or aquarium, the educator creates a range of materials that help visitors to understand the wildlife they are seeing. 4. Wildlife Rehabilitators care for ill, injured or orphaned wild animals that have been damaged by bush fires, oil spills, or other major disasters. They are responsible for then releasing the animals back into the wild. 5. Animal Behaviorists: train zoo employees how to interact with and successfully care for animals. They are usually trained in ethology (the study of animal behavior in natural habitats) and have had direct experience working with animals themselves. 6. Conservationist work for conservation agencies, reporting on what is impacting on a particular species' survival or on a region's ecosystem. 7. Researchers conduct research in private organizations or in university departments, where they also teach students.
