They utilize their expertise in scientific principles, research methodologies, and specialized techniques to conduct studies and investigations related to forensic evidence analysis. Typical responsibilities include designing and conducting research projects to improve forensic analysis methods, developing new technologies and tools for evidence collection and analysis, and collaborating with law enforcement agencies and forensic laboratories to address emerging challenges and trends in forensic science. Forensic science research roles also involve analyzing forensic evidence, such as DNA, fingerprints, and trace evidence, to identify patterns and associations that can aid in criminal investigations. Additionally, professionals may be involved in presenting research findings at conferences and seminars, publishing articles in scientific journals, and contributing to the development of standards and guidelines for forensic practice. Their expertise in areas such as forensic biology, chemistry, and microscopy enables organizations to enhance the reliability and validity of forensic evidence analysis and contribute to the administration of justice.

You will also gain exposure to additional forensic science studies that are currently performed at Noblis and will be able to work closely with forensic science professionals on necessary deliverables. This is a great opportunity to gain experience and exposure in multiple forensic science disciplines, with an emphasis on firearms.
