What should i do after M.Sc. Microbiology ? If i want to go in research field.

Hello

Hope you are doing well

For Research, you need to be NET qualified and then you can get research assistant job opportunities in chemical, biological laboratories. After MSc, you can pursue career either in academics or research organization/ research laboratories. There is ample opportunities to work in research lab or research organizations as microbiologist. Minimum requirement to get job in research organization is masters, however, PhD is highly desirable.

Best of Luck
