Animal Researchers study the behavior, physiology, and genetics of animals. They design and conduct experiments to learn more about animal behavior, habitat, reproduction, and health. They may also work with animals in the field, such as observing wildlife or tracking animals using radio telemetry. Animal Researchers play an important role in the conservation and management of animal populations, as well as in the development of new drugs and treatments for animals and humans.
Education and Training
Animal Researchers typically have a bachelor's degree in biology, zoology, animal science, or a related field. Some Animal Researchers also have a master's degree or PhD. Animal Researcher positions may require additional training, such as coursework in animal handling, laboratory techniques, or statistics.
