Chronobiologists study biological rhythms, which are natural cycles that occur in living organisms. A Chronobiologist may work in a laboratory, hospital, or other medical setting. They use their knowledge of biological rhythms to help people who have sleep disorders, jet lag, or other circadian rhythm disorders. With new research and awareness of the field, Chronobiology is also being used and studied in many other areas of healthcare, including psychiatry, cardiology, gastroenterology, and endocrinology.
Skills and Background
Chronobiologists need to have a strong understanding of biology, chemistry, and mathematics. They also need to be able to work independently and as part of a team. Other helpful skills include:
- Clinical Research
- Data Analysis
- Experimental Design
- Statistical Modeling
- Patient Education
- Problem-Solving
- Time Management
- Collaboration
- Leadership
- Communication
