What is the difference between Entry Level Environmental Research Scientist vs Entry Level Environmental Technician?

AspectEntry Level Environmental Research ScientistEntry Level Environmental Technician
Required CredentialsBachelor's degree in environmental science, biology, or related field; some roles may prefer internships or research experienceBachelor's degree in environmental science, environmental technology, or related field; certifications like OSHA safety training are common
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, field sites, academic institutions, government agenciesFieldwork sites, laboratories, environmental consulting firms
Employer & Industry UsageResearch institutions, government agencies, environmental consulting firmsEnvironmental service companies, government agencies, construction firms

While both roles involve environmental work, Entry Level Environmental Research Scientists focus on conducting research, data analysis, and scientific studies, often in labs or academic settings. Entry Level Environmental Technicians typically perform field sampling, site assessments, and data collection to support environmental projects. The roles differ mainly in their focus—research versus fieldwork—though they share similar educational backgrounds and work environments.

Job description

Glacier Federal, LLC is a government consulting and contracting firm supporting missions throughout the world. Glacier Federal is seeking a Research Scientist to provide onsite research support to our customer Natick, Massachusetts. This position evaluates the thermal performance of Arctic and cold-weather personal protective equipment, with an emphasis on military boots, socks, footwear liners, and related materials, to improve protection against frostbite and other cold injuries.

What You’ll Do
  • Develop and execute research plans evaluating cold-weather PPE and footwear using whole-body and sectional heated thermal manikins.
  • Independently operate, calibrate, troubleshoot, and maintain thermal manikins, including systems comparable to Thermetrics ANDI and sectional hand or foot manikins.
  • Analyze thermal-performance data and develop algorithms that predict footwear insulation using manikin results and material properties.
  • Conduct scientific literature reviews related to footwear, cold-weather protection, frostbite, heat transfer, and textile performance.
  • Evaluate how socks, liners, and other materials affect footwear performance and support the selection and procurement of military and commercial Arctic PPE research references.
  • Support human-subject research examining physiological responses to boot and sock systems in Arctic or simulated-Arctic environments.
  • Document research methods, activities, results, and progress in accordance with USARIEM procedures and contract requirements.
  • Collaborate with Government scientists, engineers, research personnel, and multidisciplinary laboratory teams; occasional authorized CONUS travel may be required.
What You Bring
  • Master’s degree in textile science or textile engineering.
  • Extensive hands‑on experience independently operating whole‑body and sectional thermal manikins with minimal technical guidance.
  • Knowledge of heat transfer, thermodynamics, and the thermal performance of textiles and clothing.
  • Strong scientific documentation, data‑analysis, research‑planning, organizational, and communication skills.
  • Interest or experience in physiology, human science, biomedical engineering, or human–clothing interactions.
  • Experience with manikin calibration and maintenance; mathematical or thermal modeling; human‑subject research; cold‑weather PPE or footwear testing; environmental physiology; or military research laboratories is preferred.
  • U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a favorably adjudicated Tier 1 background investigation, installation access, and a Common Access Card if required.
  • Ability to work onsite Monday through Friday, including core hours of 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m., and complete required Government safety, security, privacy, and laboratory training.
What We Offer
  • paid holidays
  • paid time off, including sick and vacation leave
  • medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • flexible spending accounts
  • short- and long-term disability coverage
  • company-paid life insurance
  • a 401(k) plan with company match and discretionary profit sharing
  • tuition reimbursement
