Careers in Biology: Where Your Degree Will Take You

So, you’ve decided to major in biology. Your degree offers a staggering array of career options.

Pamela Reynolds

Biology (sometimes called the life sciences) is one of the most popular majors on college campuses today. While some students choose a biology degree as preparation for medical school, many students don’t realize that it can also open doors to many other careers.

Food scientists, science writers, nature conservation officers, medical lab technicians, forensic scientists, and even pharmaceutical sales representatives are all professionals who may have started off their careers with a degree in biology.  

The best thing about a biology degree is that it pairs well with so many other passions.

A biology major can be a steppingstone to a specialized career studying the impact of climate change on food crops, developing a cure for Alzheimer’s, learning the root causes of Autism, or working to clean up the world’s polluted oceans.

If you have an interest in the life sciences but are not sure where a degree in biology will lead you, read on to learn more about potential careers in biology. It turns out you can do a lot more with a biology degree than go to medical school.

What are the best careers in biology?

Biology is the study of living organisms, their processes, and their functions. It’s a broad field that encompasses everything from large plants and animals to tiny microorganisms.

Career options in biology are therefore as varied as the living organisms biologists study.

And the field continues to grow, expanding into areas unheard of a few years ago. Astrobiologists, for instance, study the effects of outer space on living organisms and hunt for extraterrestrial life. Bioclimatologists study how climate affects plants, animals, and humans. Cryobiologists study the effects of low temperatures on living organisms. Bioinformaticians apply their computer skills to solving problems in medicine and the life sciences.

Other popular careers in biology include immunobiology, in which biologists study the immune system, and genomics, in which biologists study genomes.

Where can you work with a biology degree?

Biologists can work almost anywhere, including in the worlds of art, law, business, public health, and education.

What career you choose will depend on your interests and whether you opt for a bachelor’s degree, a master’s, or maybe even an MD or PhD.

If you stop at a bachelor’s degree, you might work as a technician at a biotech firm or hospital. You could become a high school biology teacher or use your degree to become a health educator. You could even build a career as a science content writer or move into sales at a medical device company. 

With additional education, you can use your biology degree to become a nurse, physician, veterinarian, engineer, or senior scientist. An advanced degree in biology can allow you to teach biology at a university or become a senior level manager or researcher at a pharmaceutical, environmental, or biotech firm. You might even decide to start your own company.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates there will be almost 114,000 new jobs in the life, physical, and social sciences between 2020 and 2030, meaning that biology and related fields represent a high-growth sector.

Explore Harvard’s summer programs for high school students.

What type of biology is best for your career goals?

Careers in biology can be divided into branches and fields. Each branch offers a different set of career choices. There are dozens of possibilities, but a few broad areas include:

  • Biomedical Engineering. This area revolves around applying the problem-solving techniques of engineering to biology and medicine. Someone who has a biology degree might get a graduate degree in engineering to tackle real-world systems that make people healthier. Biomedical engineers design new technologies that include prosthetic devices, imaging systems, medical instruments, diagnostic tools, and biopharmaceuticals. Many biomedical engineers work at biotechnology firms. Some may work for the government to establish safety standards for medical devices. This area is huge and growing and includes a wide range of specialties from biomaterials to stem cell engineering. 
  • Chemical and Physical Biology. People working in this area use tools from mathematics, chemistry, and physics to solve problems in the life sciences. Chemists and physical biologists work in research and technical positions in industries like oil, chemicals, food processing, agriculture, biotechnology, and mining. They might work in manufacturing or in diagnostics at a private company, or in quality control, sales, and plant development.
  • Ecology and Environmental Biology. Ecologists and environmental biologists study the relationships between living things and their habitats. Within this field, there are many specializations. For instance, aerobiologists study organisms and organic particles in the air. Geobiologists study the interactions between the earth and the biosphere. Many people in this area study specific regional environments to protect wildlife and ecosystems. They might work as a naturalist at a state or national park, or as a consultant or researcher with a government agency, private firm, or non-profit organization.
  • Human Evolutionary Biology. Human evolutionary biologists seek to understand how evolutionary forces have shaped our physiology and patterns of behavior. Someone working in this field might work as a researcher in medical science or a professor in medicine, economics, psychology, or the social sciences.
  • Molecular and Cellular Biology. Cell biologists study cell structures and their interactions with biological organisms. They usually work in laboratories where they analyze samples, perform experiments, and keep detailed records of their findings. A cell biologist may work for government agencies, in private or public laboratories, as well as teach at colleges or universities.
  • Neuroscience.   Neuroscientists study the biology underlying behavior and how our brains process information. They examine the nervous system at every level, from behavior and cognition to cells and molecules. Someone in this area might work in research at a biotech company, become a neuroeconomist, a medical doctor, or a professor at a university.

What careers require an advanced degree in biology?

While it’s possible to find a satisfying career with only a bachelor’s degree in biology, the reality is that as technology and science progresses, there is always more to know.

That makes it increasingly likely that you’ll need a graduate degree in a specific area in the biological sciences. We’ve discussed many of these areas, including cell and molecular biology, biomedical engineering, neurobiology, and chemistry.

An advanced degree is especially necessary for anyone interested in moving into research in academia, private industry or in a government lab. But advanced degrees are also necessary outside of academia and research. Foresters and forensic scientists, environmental scientists, and microbiologists generally have advanced degrees.

Rather than earning a more advanced degree in a specialized area of biology, some students choose to enter a professional school after receiving their bachelor’s degree. They might attend nursing, medical, veterinary, dental or law school. Students who choose this route can find themselves richly rewarded by a fascinating career that offers even more opportunities for specialization.  

Whatever career you choose, the nice thing about getting a degree in biology is that you’ll always have options!

10 Great Jobs for People With Biology Degrees—Because You Don’t Have to Be a Biologist

person pipetting under a laboratory hood

If you have a biology degree—or you’re about to get one—you may feel like there are only a few jobs that you’re suited for, and almost all of them require further schooling. But as a biology major, you’re qualified for a number of jobs both inside and outside of a lab or a hospital—even if you don’t want to attend professional or graduate school.

When you think of yourself strictly as a biologist, you might be unnecessarily limiting what careers you can have, says Josh Henkin, PhD, founder of STEM Career Services . Apart from scientific knowledge and background, “students in the biological sciences have unique skills that make them great employees in any work setting,” says Kasey Johnson, Employer Engagement Coordinator for Career Services at the University of Minnesota College of Biological Sciences.

In addition to the traditional lecture classes most majors require, biology majors must take a number of laboratory-based classes. They have experience researching and forming plans, following protocols, troubleshooting problems, working with groups, and analyzing the results of their work in order to successfully perform experiments. This translates into a number of transferable skills , or skills that are valuable across a number of workplaces and employment scenarios, including:

  • Problem solving
  • Critical thinking
  • Adaptability
  • Developing, testing, and iterating on a hypothesis
  • Literature review
  • Data collection and analysis
  • Laboratory research and safety techniques
  • Understanding and communicating complex scientific and medical topics

What jobs are biology majors qualified for with these skills? Here are 10—and many don’t require any graduate school to land an entry-level role.

1. Research Associate or Lab Technician

Average research associate salary : $53,790

Research associates—also called lab technicians, research assistants, and clinical technicians, among many other titles—conduct tests and experiments in a laboratory setting, often as assistants to research scientists. They can work in academic labs at universities and in medical labs in hospitals, clinics, or other testing facilities. Or they might work for research and pharmaceutical companies; biological, chemical, and food manufacturers; or any other organization that has a laboratory.

Biology majors are well suited for these jobs because of the laboratory experience required by your coursework and the knowledge of research techniques and data analysis skills you gained as a result. You’ll also use your problem solving abilities and communication skills to navigate work within a lab since you’re typically working as part of a team and often trying to find new solutions or troubleshoot problems.

Research associates might choose to go back to school and get a PhD or master’s degree so that they can conduct their own research or hold a higher position within a lab, or they might become a lab manager who coordinates the work, maintains supplies and equipment, and sets procedures within a research laboratory.

2. Quality Control Inspector or Analyst

Average quality control inspector salary : $54,204 Average quality control analyst salary : $55,336

Quality control inspectors and analysts monitor the manufacturing of products and make sure that procedures and safety regulations are being followed. Biology majors are especially qualified to do this work at companies producing drugs, vaccines, or any other product where the manufacturing process involves chemicals or requires an aseptic environment. Quality control professionals might also be in charge of monitoring and maintaining the equipment needed for the manufacturing or testing processes.

As a bio major, you’re well versed in basic laboratory procedures and “understand the importance of reviewing the regulations which govern the industry,” says DeNea R. Conner, founder of Advice Tank and a former biology major who has worked in operations, quality control, and management for several leading pharmaceutical corporations and who has hired biology majors for a number of positions. While some quality control jobs only require a high school diploma, those that deal with biology or chemistry usually call for a biology, chemistry, or similar degree.

3. Manufacturing Technician

Average manufacturing technician salary : $49,616

In addition to monitoring the production of biological and chemical products such as medications, vaccines, and food components, biology majors are also especially suited to manufacturing them. Biological and chemical items—especially those that go into the human body—often need to be produced in a laboratory and/or a sterile setting, a type of process biology majors are familiar with from their lab classes. Putting together these products—or a chemical component of one—typically involves following laboratory protocols and using a number of experimental techniques biology majors likely learned to do in school.

A biology major can also prepare you to work in the assembly of other products, including cars, tech gadgets, or almost any item you can think of. Right now, manufacturing jobs are some of the hardest jobs for companies to fill, Henkin says. The field is becoming more and more technical, and many assembly workers don’t have the required training, but biology majors do. There are also a number of other jobs in the pharmaceutical and biologic manufacturing industry that you’re suited for as a bio major, such as supply chain management and logistics.

4. Medical or Science Writer

Average medical writer salary : $72,850

Medical and science writers write about healthcare and other scientific topics in advertisements, training manuals, informational pamphlets, articles, and more. They could be writing for a number of audiences, such as doctors and pharmacists, marketers and advertisers, salespeople, manufacturers, or the general public.

For example, as a medical writer, you might write instructions for a piece of laboratory equipment for those who will be using it or a description of the effects of a new drug for a pamphlet for patients. You might work for a pharmaceutical company, a healthcare provider, or a nonprofit organization looking to educate people about a health or science topic. Or you might report and write about health and science for a newspaper, magazine, or another publication (online or in print).

Science and medical writers need to understand complex concepts and communicate them clearly to their intended audience, making this a great job for a bio major with some writing chops.

Find medical writer or science writer jobs on The Muse

5. Science or Health Policy Analyst

Average salary for policy analysts : $59,733

Science and health policy analysts research, analyze, and evaluate outcomes of possible or existing laws or government programs related to health, medicine, the environment, or any other scientific issue, such as a new environmental regulation or a proposed Medicaid expansion. As a policy analyst, you can work for a nonprofit; a science society or other membership-driven organization; the federal, state, or local government; or any organization involved in lobbying. If you’re interested in federal policy, most jobs are in Washington, DC and the surrounding areas.

You may be able to find an entry-level policy position with just a bachelor’s degree in biology (and the federal government and many state and city governments have special programs and fellowships to allow you to do just that), but to move up in your career you might need further schooling.

Find policy analyst jobs on The Muse

6. Marketing Coordinator

Average salary for marketing coordinators : $45,028

Marketing coordinators create or assist in the creation of marketing campaigns. They also conduct market research and analyze results of different marketing initiatives.

Biology majors have the research and analysis skills needed for these positions, but they also have the background knowledge needed to work in marketing specifically in the science, health, and biotechnology spaces. You can work for a marketing agency or for a company that does its own marketing such as a nonprofit, pharmaceutical company, biotech company, telehealth organization, or a health tech startup.

As a biology major, you already “speak their language,” Henkin says. And if you have strong communication skills, you’ll be able to break down complex science topics in a way that makes the company’s products marketable and easy to understand.

7. Public Health Program Manager

Approximate average salary for public health program managers : $67,000 (based on salary info for this similar role, according to a public health careers expert )

Public health program managers design, implement, coordinate, oversee, and evaluate health programs that may seek to increase public awareness of a health topic, provide access to social and community services, or strengthen the overall health of the public. You might work for a government agency, hospital, university, nonprofit, or other NGO (non-governmental organization) to implement programs locally, or if you’d like to help people around the world, you can work for an international health or international development organization.

Program managers need to have good analytical, interpersonal, and organizational skills as well as background knowledge in the subject their programs cover, making this a good fit for biology majors. You might be able to find entry-level program management positions with just a bachelor’s degree in biology, but many entry- or higher-level jobs will require a master’s degree in public health, biology, or similar.

Find public health program manager jobs on The Muse

8. Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Sales Representative

Average salary for medical device sales representatives : $58,591 Average salary for pharmaceutical sales representatives : $85,394

Pharmaceutical and medical device sales representatives go into doctors’ offices, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities to sell their products to medical professionals.

Biology majors are especially suited to these sales professions because “they understand the science behind the product being sold,” Conner says, which helps them make a stronger case for what they’re selling—for example, a new medication or a type of MRI machine—and ensures that the information they’re sharing with medical professionals is accurate.

If you’re a biology major who wants a job where you get to interact with a lot of people, this is a great choice. Plus, pharmaceutical and medical device sales are two of the highest-paying sales jobs , partially due to the potential to earn commissions and bonuses .

9. Research Scientist

Average salary for research scientists : $81,378

Research scientists review past and current research, formulate and test hypotheses, conduct tests and experiments, and analyze and present their findings. Research scientists are responsible for everything from developing new medications and vaccines to combating climate change to tracking and preserving endangered species to creating new technologies. Most research scientists—including biologists, chemists, and pharmacologists—work in a laboratory setting, but for some specialities, such as wildlife biology, ecology, or atmospheric chemistry, large amounts of research happen “in the field.”

Biology majors are especially suited for these careers by design—their classes provide the background knowledge and their lab work teaches them the techniques and procedures they’ll use and build on throughout their careers. However, to become a research scientist, biology majors need to obtain a master’s degree (approximately two years) and a PhD (approximately four to six years) or just a PhD in their chosen area of specialization—for example, neurobiology, instrumental chemistry, biochemistry, or computational biology. To work for a university, post-doctorate programs are usually required and can last from one to five years. Research scientists can also work for private research companies (known as “in industry); for the government; or for museums, zoos, and other educational facilities.

Find research scientist jobs on The Muse

10. Medical Doctor

Average salary for doctors in general practice : $154,220 (general practice is just one example; salaries are highly variable based on specialty)

It should come as no surprise that medicine is a top career choice for biology majors. Doctors diagnose and treat patients, perform tests and medical procedures, and stay on top of the latest research in their fields. Depending on their specialties, doctors might also perform surgery, administer anesthesiology and other drugs, or read and interpret scans and test results, among many other responsibilities. Doctors often work long hours, and the job can be extremely stressful.

A biology major provides the background knowledge and most or all of the prerequisite courses needed to take the MCAT and attend medical school. After four years of medical school, doctors must also complete a residency in their desired specialty, which can last from three to seven years, and some choose to do an additional fellowship after residency to further specialize. If you’d like to do clinical research as a medical doctor, you may have to also obtain a PhD or attend a specific MD/PhD program.

Find doctor jobs on The Muse

If none of the jobs on this list speak to you as a biology major, keep in mind that this is just a small sampling and by no means everything you’re qualified for. “We see biology majors graduating and going on to great careers in many different fields,” Johnson says. In addition to these jobs, students also go on to work in “scientific education (at an environmental learning center or science museum), park services, healthcare, forestry, biotechnology, genetic counseling, and more.” You might also choose to attend a professional school to become a physical or occupational therapist, a dentist, or a pharmacist. But really, whatever interests you, Johnson says, you’ll be able to learn the new skills you need on the job or through training because bio majors are adaptable, critical thinkers.

How to Become a Biology Teacher

Jump to section, what are the requirements for teaching biology, who will my students be, what does a biology teacher do, biology teaching jobs & job description, where can certified biology teachers teach, what is the salary for a biology teacher, biology teaching organizations & associations, sponsored school(s).

Biology is the study of complicated things that have the appearance of having been designed with a purpose. Richard Dawkins

phd biology teaching jobs

Biology teachers, typically referred to as science teachers, are highly skilled in the sciences, specifically biology. A biology teacher goes beyond the basics of biology to impart specific wisdom to students. A biology teacher's passion for the topic should always be evident, to the degree that students will want to learn more about this life science. A biology teacher will have to have an in-depth knowledge of the subject to be able to answer questions from students and teach content contained in school standards.

Qualities of a Biology Teacher

A biology teacher cannot be squeamish nor light-hearted when it comes to questions, pictures or videos on biological topics. The biology teacher should also be prepared to discuss bodily functions and anatomy in all realms with students, as students may ask questions that are awkward, yet answerable. A biology teacher needs to be confident in their abilities, good with students and parents and able to work on a team with fellow teachers and support staff. A biology teacher, just as other teachers, may be responsible for basic school duties involving monitoring the bus, lunch, gym or hallways.

Teaching Biology Job Growth

Becoming a biology teacher has the obvious reward of sharing a love of science with students, but the bonuses do not stop there. Teachers in any area have a projected job outlook through the year 2029 with a projected growth rate of 4%, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

However, this is a bit higher for math and science teachers who are much harder to find within school districts. In fact, high need areas such as science and math often have programs for teachers to teach while student loans are repaid a portion each year. Some schools also offer an incentive one-time payment on student loans for high-need teachers.

Education Requirements for Teaching Biology

Becoming a certified biology teacher will require at least a bachelor's degree and the completion of a teacher reparation program from an accredited college or university. The educational institution must be accredited.

Most colleges and universities that are accredited will offer a blended program in which you earn a degree and teaching certificate simultaneously.

However, depending upon need, some states have alternative programs for science teachers to become certified in education while teaching biology. These programs still require a four-year biology degree, but allow you to teach while earning certification through alternative means. These programs vary by state, but can be found online or at the district level by contacting someone at the board office.

Many biology teachers earn a bachelor's degree in education, master's degree in education or a degree in Secondary Education with a science or biology certification.

Tests to Pass for Teaching Biology

Many programs require entrance exams to show proficiency in reading, writing and mathematics. Each exam has a state based cutoff score that you will need to know prior to taking the exam. In addition, you will be expected to student teach, complete observation hours, and design a portfolio based on these experiences.

You also will be required to take a general education exam and a biology specific exam with cutoff scores set by the state. Each state can vary as far as acceptable scores so knowing your state's score requirements is beneficial. The passage of the test and all required classes should result in the ability to teach within your subject area immediately.

Each state has different requirements for becoming a teacher.

A biology teacher is most likely to teach at the middle- or high-school level. This means students will range in age from 12 to 18 and perform at varying levels. Some biology teachers will teach a general biology class at the middle-school level, while others may teach advanced placement classes at the high-school level. Increased certification may be required to teach the advanced placement classes. Biology teachers may teach other general science classes, but these will still be at the middle- and high-school levels. It is unlikely that a biology teacher will be found at the elementary level unless the teacher also holds an elementary education certification and is willing to teach all topics.

The obvious answer to this question is that a biology teacher teaches biology or a related science. However, a biology teacher must prepare lesson plans, labs, organize hands-on activities, assess students, grade and record assignments, create tests and prepare students for standardized exams.

Other Duties in Addition to Teaching Biology

This same person must be willing to attend parent meetings, attend continuing education classes, and attend staff development days. In addition to teaching, the biology teacher might be expected to do extra duties such as monitoring the hallways, restrooms, buses, or the lunchroom. This is typical of all teachers. Biology teachers may also be expected to run or help students take part in science fairs within the school or county.

Biology Classroom

A classroom for a biology teacher is usually split into two sections. Half of the classroom is usually a mini-lab while the other half is typical classroom. Lab tables allow for basic experiments to take place without displacing the class. The biology room will also usually have a whiteboard or interactive board, a few computers and cabinets to store lab equipment.

Biology Curriculum

The curriculum is typically set by the county unless you work in a private or charter school. The curriculum is chosen to be used to meet county standards, but it is up to the teacher to find supplemental materials.

Teaching biology to students at the elementary and high school levels involves introducing and reinforcing students' understanding of a number of key concepts about the world, humans, and natural systems. The job does vary in scope and depth between biology taught that the elementary level - usually grouped in science, technology and social sciences, and biology taught in high school.

Keep reading for a typical job description for each level:

Certified biology teachers have a number of employment avenues open to them. Read on to learn more.

A certified biology teacher can be employed by a public, private, or charter school. The biology teacher will most likely serve as a teacher in a middle or high school of any type of institution. Those that choose to work in public school may be able to use a form of alternate certification and will use the curriculum provided by the state. A charter school can choose their own curriculum, but students must still pass proficiency exams. Although private schools will have biology classes, some religious schools may limit what is taught in the realm of science.

On average, certified biology teachers make an annual average salary of $ 69,530 at the secondary level, according to the BLS. Biology teachers in the public school system can earn up thousands more than their private school counterparts with an average of $ 59,110 . Considering that biology is taught almost exclusively at the secondary level, teachers usually must hold a Bachelor of Science degree with certification; while this is not strictly required at a private school. Teachers who earn a master's degree or doctorate in their area of subject expertise can earn up to $15,000 more per year than their counterparts.

Biology Degree Careers

Biology is a fascinating field to study and even attain a career in.

Studying the molecular nature, physiological mechanisms, evolution, and physical structure of life and living organisms is compelling, especially if you’re able to earn a living doing this. And believe it or not, there is a career in this area, but don’t think you’ll be spending the next 23 years confined to a laboratory all day long.

When students begin their first year in university or college, they’re excited about their future as they’re consumed by every aspect of their biology major, thinking about the first steps they will take after completing their postsecondary studies. However, as their fourth year approaches, students start to wonder if there are jobs involving biology, creating consternation and fear of the future.

Is this concern justified? No, because there are plenty of careers with a biology degree that do not contain the job title “biologist”. You don’t even need to be involved in science to land a job .

Don’t believe it? Here is a list of professions you can pursue with a biology degree.

1. Biologist

Biologist

Average salary: $82,530

A biologist is a scientist who applies everything they have learned in order to study living organisms — humans, animals, plants and bacteria — and their relationship to our environment.

Their aim is to better understand how the body functions and how external factors can affect every organism, and their findings can lead to new treatments for a diverse array of diseases and the sustaining of natural resources.

2. Botanist

Botanist

Average salary: $66,750

Botanists are plant explorers. They study environmental impacts (such as pollution, acid rain and soil degradation) on plants. With their research, they publish conclusions that propose environmental protections for plant life.

Moreover, botanists can discover new types of plants, examine their parts, and potentially generate new uses for these plants that could lead to multiple health benefits.

3. Zoologist

Zoologist

Average salary: $64,650

After a couple of viewings of The Lion King , you want to save the Simbas of the world. So, perhaps zoology is your career calling — unfortunately, you won’t be able to communicate with these animals à la Dr Dolittle!

Zoologists study animals and their ecosystems and learn about their physical traits and behaviors as well as the impacts that humans can have on their natural habitats.

4. Registered nurse

Registered nurse

Average salary: $77,600

When it comes to your biology degree, you have studied everything there is to learn, from textbooks to case studies and classroom lectures. Well, now is the time to apply all that study to real-world aspects of human biology.

What better way to use this science than as a registered nurse at a hospital or medical clinic alongside doctors and other healthcare professionals ?

5. Pharmacy technician

Pharmacy technician

Average salary: $36,740

Although you’ll likely be required to finish a doctorate degree if you wish to advance to the position of pharmacist , a biology degree — whether an associate or a bachelor’s degree — qualifies you for several pharmacy-related jobs, including that of a pharmacy technician.

This is an employment opportunity that assists pharmacists in organizing, measuring, labeling, packaging and dispensing prescription medicines in a hospital or retail setting.

6. Phlebotomist

Phlebotomist

Average salary: $37,380

A phlebotomist uses venipuncture — an incision in the vein to draw blood — to collect blood samples for a whole host of reasons, from transfusions to testing to research. If you’re nervous around needles and if blood makes you ill, then perhaps this is not the job for you. If they don’t, then phlebotomist is great for new graduates.

7. Respiratory therapist

Respiratory therapist

Average salary: $61,830

Respiratory therapists use their education in biology and transfer it to the area of respiratory therapy.

While you’ll need additional training in this subject, your biology degree can be a tremendous aid in treating and caring for patients who have difficulty breathing, whether it’s from an emergency situation (heart attack or drowning) or a chronic respiratory disease (asthma or emphysema).

8. Pharmacologist

Pharmacologist

Average salary: $95,310

A pharmacologist will study toxicology and drugs and their effects on the human body.

For the most part, you will attempt to understand how drugs and other toxic substances are absorbed into the human system and how the body will medically react to each ingredient.

9. High school teacher

High school teacher

Average salary: $61,820

Sure, you will become the enemy to thousands of teenagers throughout your multiyear teaching career , but being a high school teacher who specializes in biology is a great career choice to make.

Superb pay, tremendous benefits and all the pecuniary perks of being a teacher — what more could you ask for in a job?

10. Environmental scientist

Environmental scientist

Average salary: $76,530

Environmental scientists, also identified as environmental engineers, utilize the principles of biology, chemistry , and engineering to locate and develop solutions to common environmental issues. These include recycling, public health, air pollution control, waste disposal and water.

14. Hydrologist

Hydrologist

Average salary: $84,030

Hydrologists will primarily work with water, but their daily tasks are essential to ensuring that the water we consume is safe. They will measure the properties of bodies of water, collect water samples, test for specific properties, and analyze data to determine if there is pollution, drought or erosion.

15. Medical manager

Medical manager

Average salary: $101,340

Otherwise known as healthcare administrators, medical managers typically take care of an entire practice, department, clinical area, or facility. This role will consist of planning, administrating, directing, and coordinating with medical and health services — internally and externally.

16. Physician assistant

Physician assistant

Average salary: $121,530

Physician assistants work with licensed physicians. Under their supervision, physician assistants will assess, diagnose, and treat patients. Moreover, they will treat small wounds, interpret medical tests, and prepare casts.

Typically, if a professional physician is looking after someone else, then the physician assistant will be the first line of medical care, particularly in rural and underserved areas.

17. Genetic counselor

Genetic counselor

Average salary: $80,150

The genetic counsellor is an integral member of a healthcare team, in addition to offering risk assessment, education and support to families that could potentially be at risk for or diagnosed with multiple inherited conditions. Also, these professionals will act as patient advocates, as well as assess genetic testing and proffer supportive counselling.

18. Legal specialist

Legal specialist

Average salary: $127,990

A biologist can become an attorney as long as they attend law school and earn a Juris Doctor degree . However, if you’re uninterested in becoming a lawyer , you can also serve as a legal specialist.

Many law practices that specialize in patent and intellectual property rely on biologists to understand the science of drugs, medical instruments, and biotechnology products. Environmental lawyers, meanwhile, will get involved in environmental projects, while medical malpractice lawyers will need to analyze medical interventions.

19. Lecturer

Lecturer

Average salary: $79,640

A higher education lecturer will have the same role as a high school teacher, except your role will be to teach biology and other academic subjects to undergraduate and postgraduate students who are over 18.

  • MyU : For Students, Faculty, and Staff

hUMNs of Chemistry #16

Headshots of three people over a maroon and gold banner

She/her/hers Associate Professor

Tell us about your journey to the University of Minnesota.

I first came to the U in the fall of 2006 as a chemistry graduate student, worked in Christy Haynes' group, and received my PhD in 2011. After a postdoc, I joined the chemistry department at the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) as an assistant professor in 2014. During my time at VMI I realized I really enjoyed teaching and running teaching labs. My partner and I also missed living in the Twin Cities. I came back to the U in the Fall of 2017 as the term assistant professor for analytical chemistry.

What courses do you teach? What can students expect to get out of your course?

I teach introductory analytical chemistry lecture and lab, modern methods of instrumental chemistry lab, general chemistry I and general chemistry II. In all of the courses I teach students work on their critical thinking skills and how errors effect the accuracy and precision of their experiments.

Tell us about an important mentor in your academic life?

I can't choose just one, but the chemistry professors at my undergrad, Cornell College, were amazing. They had high expectations, but were always supportive and kind. They made learning tough topics approachable and were amazing role models. I try to be as good of a professor as they were and are each day.

What do you do outside of the classroom/lab/office for fun?

I enjoy being outdoors as much as possible. I like walking with my spouse and dogs, running with my running group, biking, and cross-country skiing. I read cozy mystery novels and travel during breaks in the academic year.

What’s your favorite piece of chemistry/science pop culture media? Why do you love it?

I still love the cheesy 1980's movie Real Genius. The idea of blowing up a giant jiffy pop popcorn bag with a military grade laser to destroy the evil professor's house is still hilarious. 

What was your very first job?

I worked as a fry cook at my undergraduate college's snack cafe. I worked the flat top, fryer, and made milkshakes.

Where is your favorite spot in the Twin Cities?

I love the trailhead @ Theodore Wirth Park. I spend most of my winter skiing there and I love how you can be out in nature and be able to see the city skyline.

Tell us about who makes up your household (including pets).

I live with my husband and two golden retrievers, Pepper(11) and Grey(2).

Arceus Pogany headshot

Arceus Pogany

They/Them/Theirs Senior Laboratory Technician

Please give a brief description of your role within the UMN Chemistry department.

I work with Patrick Schildt and Laura Kundel in the stockroom to support various teaching labs. Getting/creating materials, cleaning spaces and equipment, helping with safety and more to have successful classes.

I graduated from Macalester college and found it to be the best time of my life. Working in academia was a career goal, since an environment of learning is exactly what I like the best. I had a couple roles in commercial laboratories before ending up at the East Bank. I hope this is the start of a long career at the U!

Do you have a background in or like chemistry? Tell us about it!

My background is in biology, but that's because it was the most broad science major to pick. I have the problem of liking too many different things to pick just one, so that's why I majored in biology. I've always been interested in organic chemistry, since my father was an avid gardener and he had his compost heap down to a science to ensure the right ratio of nitrogen and carbon to get rich soil for his vegetables.

What professional successes are most important to you?

Improving myself every day. Be it with learning a new skill, mastering an old one, or staying informed about scientific discoveries, I like to feel like I go to bed a better person than when I woke up.

What do you hope to contribute to the chemistry community at the University?

Enthusiasm, accuracy, and a cheerful greeting everyday.

The Magic School Bus. I refused to play with dolls, but Ms. Frizzle was my one exception when mom bought a Ms. Frizzle doll from a Scholastic book fair when I was in elementary school. I loved her so much I almost tore her head off, and mom had to meticulously match the thread color with the fabric and stitch it back together. Someday I'll probably buy the whole series on disc if I can find it.

I worked for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Department at the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge in Bloomington as a Youth Conservation Corps member. I did all sorts of things, like painting park buildings, catching and banding birds, clearing trails, cutting down invasive species, educating visitors, and wildlife surveys to name just some of the fun things I was able to do. I really loved the job!

I like to go hiking in the state parks with my DSLR camera. I will usually have quite a few pictures of fungus, moss, birds, and interesting tree bark by the time I'm finished.

What non-chemistry interest or activity of yours might surprise department members?

I started foraging for mushrooms a few years ago and it's been very fun! A giant puffball even popped up in the front yard that I was able to harvest for stir fry. It really is just like tofu for cooking.

Lake of the Isles. Mom and I love to walk, bike, or kayak around it. I keep a keen eye out for the birds, as we've seen kingfishers, egrets, loons, herons, and all sorts of migrating songbirds around it.

I live with my mom, Gillian and one-and-a-half year old cat, Matey. I also have numerous houseplants and a bioluminescent dinoflagellate (Pyrocystis fusiformis) colony!

Are there any family or cultural traditions you want to share with our community?

I have native white sage growing in the boulevard that we harvest and put into campfires to make wishes and share gratitude for what we have.

Daneasha Zackery

She/her/hers Graduate Student, Douglas Group

One day, as an undergraduate, one of my professors approached me about a great opportunity. She had told me about the Chemnext program hosted by the University of Minnesota. She said if I was interested in graduate school, then I should apply immediately (as the deadline was only two days away). I applied, and luckily, I was chosen to come and experience this community that I have come to appreciate dearly. It was during the Chemnext experience that I realized UofM was somewhere I wanted to be.

Are you involved in any student groups? What inspired you to get involved?

I am a member of NoBCChE. I was inspired to connect with other Black scientists along this journey in higher education to extend my sense of community.

What advice do you have for incoming chemistry students?

This journey is not linear, and will most likely be quite difficult at points, but always remember to celebrate your achievements. No matter how small they may seem in comparison to the overarching goal you have in graduate school, they are the things that will compel you to keep going and keep pursuing your dreams.

Dr. Eric Crumpler was my first chemistry professor and mentor. He is the person who made me realize that I could pursue chemistry as a career, and his teaching and mentorship taught me the value of "people first" as a way to approach being a scientist. We hold a social obligation to use our knowledge and findings to better the lives of the whole.

I am a big foodie and a snack enthusiast!

PhD Position in Literary Studies: Literary Education in Europe (1880 – 1940): School textbooks and the multiple functions of literature in French-speaking Europe

The Human Resources Strategy for Researchers

Job Information

Offer description.

School textbooks and the multiple functions of literature “School textbooks” is a PhD project within the encompassing research program Learning Modern Literature: Literary Education in Western Europe (1880 – 1940), funded by the University of Leuven Research Council and supervised by professors Anke Gilleir, David Martens, Bart Van den Bossche and Pieter Verstraeten (project coordinator). The program seeks to research the interactions between school and modern literature in Western Continental Europe from a literary-historical perspective. It wants to gain insight into the institutional and ideological development of literary education in different European nations (focus on Belgium, France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands) and its transnational circulation. Some core questions are: How were literature and literary reading brought into practice in different educational contexts? What different meanings, uses and functions were attributed to literary texts in these contexts? What role did literary education play in the production of literary practices and discourses? How does literary fiction of the time reflect literary education in and outside school? Overall, the project will enhance our knowledge about the role of literature as one of the cornerstones of an educational system in full expansion.  The PhD project “School textbooks” addresses the phenomenon of schoolbooks related to literary education in French-speaking Europe. Literary anthologies and textbooks for schools were produced in immense numbers. They reflected the various pedagogical and ideological ambitions of educational institutions and offer ample information about the role literature played in the education and ‘socialization’ of young citizens. As France functioned as a cultural and intellectual center in Europe and French as an entry ticket to European intellectual life at the time, French ideas about literature and literary education were received across Europe. This was in particular the case in (partly) francophone countries such as Belgium and Switzerland, which were geared towards France. Central questions to this research project include: How was French literature taught in ‘peripheral’ francophone regions? How were French textbooks received or adapted in different European contexts? What place is given to the own native literary tradition in the French language in Belgium and Switzerland? What do these textbooks teach us about the actual practice of learning literature at school? What uses and functions do they attribute to literature?  

Where to apply

Requirements, additional information.

We offer a four year full-time PhD scholarship (doctoraatsbursaal) in an intellectually stimulating and collaborative environment. The PhD scholarship is initially for 1 year. Upon a positive academic evaluation, this period will be extended by 3 years. A budget for research-related travel will be available to you as well.
