What companies hire geneticists?

Companies in higher education, healthcare, and technology hire geneticists. Most often, geneticists hold at least a bachelor's degree, and many hold master's degrees and even doctorates, depending on their specific positions. People who are interested in working in research and education can choose to get a doctorate in genetics and teach at universities.

Many geneticists work in healthcare at companies like CompHealth and Merritt Hawkins to research and create new therapies. Technology firms that focus on genetic engineering, like Genome Medical, also use geneticists in their work.
