Research Scientists find solutions to problems and answers to scientific questions. They typically specialize in one discipline, such as chemistry, biology, physics, meteorology, medical science, geoscience or pharmacology, and use that knowledge to design studies, carry out research and interpret results. For for-profit companies, Research Scientists may aid in product development, safety testing and quality control efforts.
