Forensic Entomologist careers
A Forensic Entomologist applies the study of insects to legal investigations, particularly in cases involving decomposed remains. You might work in law enforcement, forensic laboratories, or academic institutions. Forensic Entomologists focus on determining the time of death, identifying potential toxins, or even tracing the origin of human remains through insect evidence. You’ll collect, preserve, and analyse insect specimens to provide crucial information in criminal investigations.
Forensic Entomologists play a vital role in the justice system. You’ll need to be meticulous and analytical, with a strong knowledge of entomology and forensic science. You’ll collaborate with law enforcement, pathologists, and legal professionals to ensure accurate and reliable results in your investigations.
