^Scientific Translator at work^

A scientific translator is a person who spends their working day translating scientific documents into different languages. This includes not only writing documents, but proofreading and editing as well. Some work for a specific company, while some have their own home businesses. If a scientific translator is looking for a job at a company, former work may be required. On average, the person must have four years of prior experience working as a scientific translator, or in a related field. To obtain a job, one needs to present a resume with information that any business would like to know, such as where the applicant attended college and how long they have been in this field. Everyone applying must have a Ph.D. in a field related to life sciences.

If the person has a personal business, they may be working out of their own home. In a company, they would most likely be found in an office atmosphere. Currently, in over 60 countries there are an estimated 8,500 people working in the field of scientific translating. This would let anyone assume that there is room for more people, and also many available jobs.
