wildlife biologist

becoming a wildlife biologist  :-

A wildlife biologist needs to have an assortment of skills and education. Schooling is important and an interest in biology and science is handy. A Master's Degree in Wildlife Ecology or some type of related natural resources field is recommended for wildlife biologist careers.

Competition for available positions as a wildlife biologist is tough. A lot of interest creates a lot of competition for entry level jobs.  Every day is different. One day you might be flying an eagle survey. The next day mending a downed section of fencing on your property or conducting a prescribed burn to restore prairies.

The following day you might be setting up turkey registration stations followed by an evening talk to a sportsperson's association, hunter safety course or turkey education clinic.

One thing for sure ... you'll spend time outside observing nature and enhancing the health of the landscape for wildlife. Being a wildlife biologist is fun and a lot of work. You'll be tired at night ... but happy!

Many biological scientists and virtually all medical scientists work in research and development. Some conduct basic research to advance knowledge of living organisms, including viruses, bacteria, and other infectious agents. Past research has resulted in the development of vaccines, medicines, and treatments for cancer and other diseases. Basic biological and medical research continues to provide the building blocks necessary to develop solutions to human health problems, and to preserve and repair the natural environment.

Biological and medical scientists mostly work independently in private industry, university, or government laboratories, often exploring new areas of research or expanding on specialized research started in graduate school. Those who are not wage and salary workers in private industry typically submit grant proposals to obtain funding for their projects. Colleges and universities, private industry, and Federal Government agencies, such as the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation, contribute to the support of scientists whose research proposals are determined to be financially feasible and have the potential to advance new ideas or processes.
