Biology Jobs
Biologists study the origin, development, structure, and function of plant and animal life. Biology covers a broad area within the life sciences and biologists usually specialize in one area and get recognized by that specialty.
Biologists who study animals are often known as zoologists. Those who specialize in plants are called botanists. Those who work with microscopic forms of plant and animal life are known as microbiologists.
Some biologists study characteristics of life that are common to many living things. Therefore, we have anatomists who study the structure of living things, ranging from single-celled plants and animals to human beings and trees; physiologists who specialize in the study of the life functions of plants and animals – their growth, respiration, and reproduction; geneticists who study heredity and how inherited characteristics, vary in all forms of life, and how these originate and are passed on from one generation to another; pathologists who concentrate on the effects of diseases on the cells, tissues, and organs of plants and animals; nutritionists who study how food is used and changed into energy, examining the ways in which living tissue is built and repaired by its use of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and other nutrients; and pharmacologists who study the effects of drugs and other substances on living organisms.
Some scientists work in areas that combine other sciences with biology. Therefore we have biochemists, biophysicists, and ecologists. Other life scientists specialize in the organisms in one kind of environment, for example, marine biologists.

Top jobs are scattered on the websites of tens of thousands of companies, organizations and other job boards. This presents a difficult theoretical challenge that we help you overcome: By researching, structuring and logically ordering this tremendous variety of jobs in one place, we give you the ability to be resourceful and independently analyze your career options an efficient way. Other job sites are inefficient because they only show you jobs that employers are paying to post there. We actually go out and research jobs and do not accept any money from advertisers for job postings so that we can provide you with unbiased research about every job opening. We give you the resources to analyze your career options in a reserved, calm, independent and analytical manner. |

A few years ago, I spoke with a man (now retired) who had worked in a large corporation for forty years and in his last twenty years, he basically did nothing. He was paid very well and was more or less forgotten—doing very little of anything. He would show up at the office at 9:00 a.m. each day, try to look busy—do a task now and then—and then get in his car at 5:30 p.m. each evening and dr... |
