Just don’t think being a forensic scientist is anything like CSI, Bones, or NCIS. You don’t get to experiment with new techniques when a interesting crime happens. Any method or technique has to undergo an incredibly rigorous method validations testing every variable conceivable, operator variation, instrument variation, robustness, anayte recovery, anayte stability, precission, lab climate control, limit of detection, limit of quantitation, calibration statistics etc. Even a minor change to a method can take months of research and documentation to show equivalency.

It is a very routine anaysis technician position.
