Research Jobs in Zoology

Are you thinking about a research career in zoology? You might have just graduated in the field and are considering doing a PhD, or perhaps you’re already working as a postdoctoral zoology researcher.

Whatever your career stage, here we tell you everything you need to know about this popular research field, routes into zoology research and where your skills and knowledge can take you next.

What do zoology researchers do?

Zoology researchers conduct laboratory and field research into the evolution, features and behaviour of animals. From ants to elephants, they study how species interact with each other and their ecosystem, population dynamics and the effect of environmental damage on animal life.

Researchers in this field carry out individual and collaborative research in higher education, government and public bodies, charities and NGOs and sectors such as agriculture, pharmaceuticals and conservation.

Zoology research areas and interests include:

• Evolutionary genetics/genomic/biology
• Conservation biology
• Animal genetics
• Behavioural ecology
• Cell and developmental biology
• Biodiversity
• Biomedical research

If you choose to become a zoology researcher in higher education, your role will involve working in a multidisciplinary team with colleagues from backgrounds in biological, physical and medical sciences.

Depending on your expertise, you could be working on anything from studying the transmission of avian flu in seabirds to understanding evolution through paleozoology (fossil remains). You will most likely work in a laboratory setting, where you will observe animals and insects, carry out testing and analyse findings. The role might also involve fieldwork research, where you would observe species in their natural habitats anywhere in the world. Most zoology research jobs involve the following day-to-day activities:

• Designing experiments and analysing samples in a laboratory.
• Carrying out field research and sample collection.
• Gathering and interpreting data.
• Writing reports, scientific articles and research outcomes.
• Collaborating with colleagues to compile funding proposals.
• Attending conferences, knowledge exchange forums and events related to your project.
• Liaising with external stakeholders, conservation and policymaking organisations.
• Managing a team of researchers and technicians (senior zoology research roles).
• Carrying out ad hoc teaching and demonstrations to students at all levels.

How to Become a Zoology Researcher

To work as a zoology researcher, you will generally need to have completed a PhD or be near completion. The area you focus on during doctoral studies will influence the type of role you apply for, as your expertise would need to align with the objectives of a particular project or programme.

Postdoctoral research jobs in zoology generally require the following qualifications, experience and knowledge.

Essential qualifications

• An undergraduate degree and/or Master’s in zoology or other relevant biological science.
• A PhD in zoology or related area. If you have not completed your PhD yet, take a look at our current Zoology PhD Studentships .

Experience and knowledge

If you’re applying for your first postdoctoral post, you will need previous research experience – most likely gained during your PhD – in an area which aligns with the project. More senior research roles would require a wide range of postdoctoral experience plus evidence of published outcomes.

For all biological sciences research jobs, you would need high-level laboratory skills and the ability to use cutting-edge equipment. Knowledge of and skills in computational biology, computer vision, machine learning and multilevel modelling may also be required.

What’s the pay?

A postdoctoral research associate/fellow in zoology can expect a salary in the range of £38,200 to £44,100 p.a. Senior research associates/fellows can expect between £44,263 to £54,395 p.a., depending on the project.

What can it lead to?

On gaining several years of postdoctoral experience, you could apply for senior research fellowships or choose to combine your research with teaching in a lecturing role.

Alternatively, you might decide to work as a senior research scientist in a non-university setting , such as a conservation charity, research institute or in industry. Promotion to senior research positions depends on successful research outcomes and your ability to work as part of a multidisciplinary team.

Where can I find jobs?

Zoology research offers a wide range of career opportunities for doctoral students, postdocs and senior researchers in a variety of settings worldwide. However, it’s a popular field and competition for jobs can be high.

You will find higher availability of jobs in areas such as conservation, ecology, biomedical science and disease prevention/treatment (such as studying and treating zoonotic diseases or parasitological diseases like malaria).

Most academic research posts are funding-dependent and offered on a fixed-term contract basis, so you may find you will need to move from post to post as a researcher. Zoological research is supported by a network of funding sources and universities often partner with external organisations and industry to complete a project.

To find out more about the types of zoology research currently receiving funding in the UK, visit UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) , or take a look at the impact of previous and ongoing research on the Research Excellence Framework’s impact case study database.

In addition to overseeing the BDP program, Wigginton will lead the Research Development Team , internal research funding awards programs, research communications, and research data and analytics. He will also help develop future research initiatives.

"Nick's experiences and values directly align with the priorities of the research enterprise at Johns Hopkins, and we look forward to the continued evolution of our programs to best serve our research community under his leadership," says Denis Wirtz, vice provost for research.

Wigginton joins Johns Hopkins from the University of Michigan, where he most recently served as its associate vice president for research–strategic initiatives. In that role, he developed and implemented programs and policies, and built new teams to increase the research competitiveness of Michigan's research enterprise. Wigginton also spent the 2019-2020 academic year at Stanford University working closely with its research office as part of the prestigious American Council of Education Fellows Program .

In discussing his decision to come to Johns Hopkins, Wigginton says he looks forward to building upon the strengths of the Johns Hopkins research community, and to being part of the BDP program, which is the largest program of its kind in the nation.

"It's incredibly inspiring to be joining the nation's first research university," Wigginton says. "Johns Hopkins has a stellar reputation for discovery and impact. This feels like a place where I can learn a lot, and I'm eager to build new initiatives and support existing ones such as the BDP program. It's a crown jewel in terms of faculty recruitment programs, and I am extremely excited to be able to help foster an environment where the world's most accomplished scholars come together to tackle society's most pressing challenges."

Wigginton graduated with a bachelor's degree in geology from Michigan State University and received a PhD in geosciences from Virginia Tech. He was a postdoctoral scholar at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland and a visiting researcher at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington. Before joining Michigan, Wigginton was a senior editor at Science , where he oversaw the selection and publication of manuscripts across a wide range of scientific disciplines.

David named associate dean for research

Published: May 29, 2024 7:45 AM

By Austin Phillips

Allan David has been named associate dean for research for Auburn University’s Samuel Ginn College of Engineering, according to an announcement by Dean Mario Eden.

David, the John W. Brown professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering, assumes the position effective June 1. He has served as acting associate dean for research since June 1, 2022, when former dean Chris Roberts moved on to become Auburn’s 21 st president and then-associate dean for research, Steve Taylor, became interim dean of the college.

“Dr. David has done a tremendous job during the past two years in his role as acting dean of research for the college, and I am thrilled to continue working with him in this permanent role moving forward,” Eden said. “As a college, we have huge aspirations related to our research enterprise, and Dr. David has demonstrated that he has the leadership and forethought to help pave the way to get us there.”

As associate dean for research, David will assist with the college’s strategic planning, budget development, facilities oversight and administration. In collaboration with the dean, David will promote a vibrant research culture by working with department chairs, institute directors and center directors to improve each of their teams’ contribution to the mission of research and scholarship. He will also provide leadership to ensure that processes function effectively for submission of proposals to external sponsors while mentoring, assisting and reviewing proposal development and assisting with technology commercialization activities. Additionally, David will develop and manage research-related policies, research centers and transdisciplinary research within the college, across campus and into industry. He will also play an integral part in developing and implementing the college’s research programs at the Auburn Research Park, the Auburn University Research and Innovation Campus in Huntsville and the soon-to-be-built Gulf Coast Engineering Research Station in Orange Beach.

“The past two years serving as acting associate dean of research has been two of the most rewarding years of my career,” David said. “It opened my eyes to just how truly special this college is, and the impact it is making on the world is immense. Our college is made up of faculty and students who are entrepreneurs, groundbreaking researchers and some of the brightest minds in the world who are dedicated to hard work. I look forward to us all working together on innovations and discoveries that will chart our path for the next century.”

David joined the Auburn faculty in 2012, and in 2018 he co-founded Nanoxort — a company that engineers novel contrast agents to equip physicians with the tools to make more accurate disease diagnoses and provide patients with more personalized, effective treatments. He has served as an assistant professor, associate professor and was recently promoted to the rank of full professor.

Prior to moving to Auburn, David served as a postdoctoral fellow and adjunct assistant professor of pharmacy at the University of Michigan. He also served as a technical manager at the Industrial Science and Technology Network and as a thermal systems engineer for Dynatherm Corp.

David earned his bachelor’s and doctoral degrees in chemical engineering from the University of Maryland in 1997 and 2004, respectively.
