The qualifications to get a job in biological science depend on the type of work you do, the level of complexity, and your managerial responsibilities. For some entry-level jobs, such as being an environmental inspector or technician, you may need only an associate degree, but most jobs require a minimum of a bachelor's degree in biology, biochemistry, or another natural science. To be a doctor, you need a medical degree as well. Many senior researcher positions require a master’s or Ph.D. Important skills for jobs in biological science include research skills, analytical thinking skills to develop and test hypotheses, and strong communication skills.
