Hi everyone my name is Katie and I work for how to become calm welcome to this video for working as a scientist this video will give you some and scientists job roles and different ways you can become a scientist so have you ever wondered how to become a scientist well the type of job on offer to anyone wishing to follow a career in science will depend partly on the chosen field and also how that person wants to use their scientific knowledge and experience however it should be noted that in many organizations the opportunities to use science in the workplace often decrease as one Rises within that organization very often to gain promotion within a particular organization or company scientist becomes more involved in the managerial side of the business resulting in doing less practical science so the kinds of scientific jobs available will depend on whether you want to apply your scientific knowledge and training in a particular manner or use it in a theoretical way quite often some of the jobs described below overlap of scientists.
Who become experts in their field a call to plan to act as editors advisors etc alternatively there's always a demand for science teachers either in schools colleges or universities in many instances working working in academia allows the scientists to combine both teaching and research so the different routes into science so if you are wondering about how to become a scientist probably the first step to choosing the right kind of job to suit you is to decide which branch of science you are most interested in some scientists herbs and careers are advertised on the Royal Society of Chemistry website often this decision is a gradual process which starts at a young age and is determined by the choices made during your educational career however some people may come to a science career.
As a result of a conscious a decision to do something different irrespective of why you choose a career in science identifying the type of job you want to do is likely to be driven more by your interest in the subject and how you want to use your knowledge and experience rather than the rewards on offer so the following job sectors will give you a better understanding of the options available to you for working as a scientist so first of all we've got a research scientist so jobs in this area are often found in universities large companies central government or the Health Service and allied sectors research scientists may be employed on a permanent basis but typically their posts will be dependent on funding for a particular project so scientists who choose a career in research may begin their working life as a laboratory assistant or technician who tends to be responsible for carrying out much of the routine day-to-day work however depending on your experience and/or levels of qualification scientists enter and research may be in a position where they are more involved in the planning and managing of research projects.
The sorts of research projects that are commonly undertaken in in the industry include those looking at ways to improve existing products or develop new ones research in the health sector may be carried out by central government universities or charitable organizations and often includes trying to find out the causes behind particular diseases and conditions as well as looking at cures for them other researchers may also be trying to develop new analytical methods which can be applied in other scientific areas so next we've got the Quality Assurance so many industries will rely heavily on a quality assurance system of some description to ensure that the products that they are producing are of a consistently high quality and meet the legal requirements relative to that product quality assurance or control.
Scientists are usually involved in the routine examination of ingredients and products involved in the manufacturing process to the main areas Quality Assurance is important are the food and pharmaceutical industries the food industry offer scientists such as chemists through technologists and microbiologist a role in quality assurance control where chemists and farmers and pharmacists are often employed in the pharmaceutical industry in this role there will also be opportunities for people with with a scientific background in the quality assurance of other manufacturing industries such as the automotive and chemical manufacturing manufacturers in industries to scientific research the analytical side so although many analytical tip techniques are involved in quality assurance other scientists may use these techniques in a more investigative role.
Many laboratories such as public analysts and some government departments carry out work looking at the composition of materials where the products meet the requirements laid down in manufacturing and safety standards or if they meet other legal requirements the types of scientist can be employed in these roles include microbiologist chemists materials and scientists and physicists so if you would like more information on becoming a scientist including more types of job sectors then you can click now for more information so hopefully you have found something in this video really useful and if you have don't forget to you it give the video a like don't forget to subscribe to the channel because there's a whole host of em job videos that you can check out if you're unsure about what job you would like to do if you do have any questions or queries then you can feel free to drop me a message below this video and I'll get back to you as soon as I can so the link for finding out more information is also posted in the description box below this video so be sure to check that out because there's a whole host of more job sectors for becoming a scientist so that's it for me thanks for watching everyone and I wish you all the very best.
