People with a degree in microbiology have a wealth of career options. They can remain in an academic setting teaching microbiology at universities or other schools. They can also work in a clinical setting as medical technicians for various hospital departments, where they can be responsible for identifying disease-causing microbes in blood or tissue samples.
Microbiologists can also be employed by entities such as the RCMP as forensic specialists or pathologists. Other agencies that employ microbiologists include Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Health Canada, Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and Natural Resources Canada. There they can work with epidemiologists, food scientists, and water technicians to develop guidelines for avoiding contamination in the environment, workplace, or tracking disease outbreaks.
Microbiologists are also employed in a non-medical setting. Industrial microbiologists can find work in various industries such as the food industry (food spoilage), mining industry (bioremediation), and brewing industry (fermentation science). Biotechnology is a fast-emerging discipline and most people in this industry have a background in microbiology.
A degree in microbiology can also be a useful foundation for other careers, such as veterinary science (animal disease), dentistry (oral microbiology), engineering (biological or chemical engineering), or in medicine.
