Research Scientist

A research scientist is responsible for planning and conducting experiments to increase scientific knowledge in fields such as biology, chemistry, physics, or medical science. Their work involves designing studies, collecting and analysing data, and publishing results. Research scientists may work in universities, government laboratories, hospitals, or private industry. Day-to-day tasks can include running laboratory experiments, analysing samples, writing reports, and collaborating with other scientists. Many research scientists also present their findings at conferences and may contribute to new discoveries or product development. This career requires strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate complex ideas.
