How much do biological science jobs pay per year?
What is biological science?
What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a biological scientist, and why are they important?
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.
What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in biological science roles?
What is the difference between Biological Science vs Biological Technician?
| Aspect | Biological Science | Biological Technician |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Bachelor's degree or higher in biology or related field | Associate's or Bachelor's degree in biology or related field |
| Work Environment | Research labs, universities, government agencies | Laboratories, field sites, research facilities |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Academic, research, healthcare, government | Research institutions, biotech companies, environmental agencies |
| Common Search & Comparison | Focuses on research, analysis, and higher-level scientific tasks | Supports research through data collection and lab work |
Biological Science professionals typically hold higher degrees and engage in research, analysis, and scientific study, while Biological Technicians assist in experiments, data collection, and lab support. Both roles are essential in biological research but differ in education requirements and responsibilities.

Job description
BASIC REQUIREMENTS for GS-7 and GS-9:
Degree: biological sciences, agriculture, natural resource management, chemistry, or related disciplines appropriate to the position.

2. GS-9: You must have completed 2 years of progressively higher-level graduate education leading to a master's degree or equivalent graduate degree:
a) Grade Point Average - 2.95 or higher out of a possible 4.0 as recorded on your official transcript or as computed based on 4 years of education or as computed based on courses completed during the final 2 years of curriculum; OR 3.45 or higher out of a possible 4.0 based on the average of the required courses completed in your major field or the required courses in your major field completed during the final 2 years of your curriculum. If more than 10 percent of total undergraduate credit hours are non-graded, i.e. pass/fail, CLEP, CCAF, DANTES, military credit, etc. you cannot qualify based on GPA.
KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES (KSAs): Your qualifications will be evaluated on the basis of your level of knowledge, skills, abilities and/or competencies in the following areas:
1. Professional knowledge of the biological sciences (environmental) concepts and principles and standard practices, methods, and techniques to perform, following specific instructions, routine projects or minor phases of a larger and more complex project.
2. Knowledge to study environmental problems requiring investigation of unsanitary or questionable conditions in assigned projects (See Environmental Program Checklist).
3. Basic knowledge of applicable Federal, State, and local laws, regulations, and other guidance to make recommendations concerning assigned restoration, compliance, conservation, pollution prevention, and/or integration principles and practices.
4. Ability to search technical reports, manufacturers' catalogs, and other guidelines to obtain information.
5. Ability to work cooperatively as a team member in the design of environmental systems.
