ZOOLOGIST CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

County, state and federal agencies employ zoologists in a wide range of positions, and sometimes the hiring agency might not be related directly to zoology. The Department of Energy and the U.S. Geological Survey are two good examples. Many of these jobs involve research, and some can include work in the regulation and enforcement of environmental laws.

Zoologists also can find careers in industry and private business. For example, some industries employ field biologists to monitor and manage effluent production, land use around a factory and environmental health.

JOB DUTIES

Examples of typical job duties for a zoologist are as follows:

Monitoring wildlife health and creating recovery plans

Communicating with the public by conducting field trips to point out scientific, historic and natural features of a park

Setting up equipment to monitor and collect pollutants from sites, such as smoke stacks, manufacturing plants and mechanical equipment

Conducting experimental studies indoors and outdoors

Studying the origin, interrelationships, classification, life histories, diseases, development, genetics and distribution of organisms in basic research.

Daily tasks vary widely based on the specific career in zoology. The following are a few key tasks for some of the available zoology roles:

Zookeeper

A zookeeper’s role includes preparing animals’ meals; caring for animals; cleaning enclosures; monitoring and recording behavior; ensuring the animals are healthy; grooming, exercising and training animals; and talking to visiting groups about the animals.

Wildlife Educator

Among other duties, wildlife educators reside at the study location and research and explore various intricacies of wildlife behavior; research and write information for use in printed materials and on websites; prepare information for educational visits; design and prepare displays; and buy or raise animals for exhibition.
