What's the proper term used for a person who works in a laboratry ?

Question

and also what qualifactions and training do they need?

Answer 1

It depends on what they do in the lab...

Could be a scientist.. or a specialist of some sort..

Or just a general Lab Technician.

Answer 2

people who work in labs could be scientists, lab technicians, researchers or students...and you need varying qualifications depending on your field of work...right from under-graduate up to PhD and more....

Answer 3

I know a few people that say they are "Lab Technicians" when being introduced. I have seen job adverts requiring science A levels to a relevant degree. I would imagine that the main factors that would determine your suitability would be to work methodically and accurately record findings. They generally work in one particular area and have to work within guidelines that may be laid down by their company or regulatory body.

Perhaps there are some lab technicians that could confirm this.

Answer 4

It depends on what position they hold.

You can have a researcher, a technician, an assistant.

They all need varying degrees of qualifications.

Answer 5

Lab Rat! Qualifications? Well that depends on what the job is. There are people who work in lab's who sweep the floor and probably have very few qualifications.

Answer 6
