Research Scientists, including Microbiologists and Scientific Curators, can obtain between $40,000 and $100,000 depending on their education and level of experience. Biostatistician salaries range from $70,000 to $110,000, depending on their entry-level education. Molecular Modelers and Bioinformatics Software Developers can obtain between $60,000 and $100,000.

The outlook for Careers in Bioinformatics is good, as the increasing trend in science is towards taking a multi-disciplinary approach to solving biological problems. All of these career fields should see faster than average growth over the next five to seven years. However, competition for such jobs is expected to be high, and the best opportunities will be for candidates with post-graduate degrees.
