What is involved in working as a scientist? The world of science is absolutely vast. It is divided into many different and varied branches. Regardless as to which branch of science you are most interested in, it is important that you have a good, strong academic record and a passion for your subject. Scientists can work long hours -- researching as well as publishing their findings -- but they generally enjoy many challenges and a high level of job satisfaction throughout their working lives. Although some scientific jobs are routine, there are many jobs which enjoy benefits and perks. For example, many scientists have to attend conferences in different parts of the world -- these are great opportunities not just to travel around the world but also to experience new cultures and meet like-minded people!

Main Genres of Scientists and Typical Job Descriptions
Here are just a few main categories of scientists and a brief description as to what the roles may cover:
Biological Scientists -- biological scientists study all living species (humans and animals) and all living systems. The important work they do can help us understand and even cure some diseases. Biological scientists include microbiologists, marine biologists, population biologists, marine biologists, biochemists, molecular biologists and more.
Chemical Scientists-- chemical scientists work with the chemical elements that are part of our world. They study how these can elements work together, bringing about new materials and inventions.
Earth Scientists -- earth scientists study our planet in an attempt to comprehend its systems and processes. They are concerned with gaining an understanding as to how the Earth came about as well as trying to foretell its future.
Engineers -- engineers are members of the scientific community, too. They study and come up with solutions to apply to real situations. For example, structural engineers help to build bridges and buildings, civil engineers try to improve our transport systems, chemical engineers study the uses of important materials such as plastics.
Medical Scientists -- medical scientists contribute to finding cures to diseases by working in research and development. Their knowledge helps in the discovery of new medicines and treatments.
Physical Scientists -- physical scientists are concerned with practical applications of the laws of physics in the development of new materials, electronic devices and medical equipment.

Trade Magazines and Journals
Here are just some of the main scientific publications which may also advertise job vacancies within the scientific community. Many are available both online and offline:
ACB News -- The Association for Clinical Biochemistry magazine
Barometer -- Met Office magazine
New Scientist -- Science & technology magazine with recruitment supplement
PSC -- The Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine and Biology's placement circular
Science -- International weekly science journal, published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
Nature - this journal has an online database where you can search for jobs, PhDs and post-doctorates throughout the world.
