Dear friend, many thanks for your question and I am happy to answer it through Meracareerguide. As you have asked the question the scope of zoologist, let me tell you that zoology is a basic subject and is being taught in schools, colleges and universities. The level of subject knowledge changes from school to university. The zoologist is a person who studies the animals, their behavior, distribution, classification and physiology in their natural habitat and in captivity. The animals could be microscopic to huge. The zoologist may have to study the animals in cold deserts, dry deserts, mountains, marine and forest environment.



In India, the zoologist has job opportunities in schools as teacher, in colleges, universities, research institutions and governmental laboratories as lecturer, assistant scientist or assistant professor or technical officer. In Indian scenario, the scope of zoologist is still very huge, because, we do not know much about the small or microscopic animals. The sea animals have not been discovered or studied well or in detail. The zoologist has to work on it to find or explore something new.

The zoologist also write research proposals to study the animal behavior or their physiology. These projects inducts Research Associate, Senior Research Fellow, Junior Research Fellow. These researchers work in the project and learn many things and also report new findings in the form of a research publications.
The zoologist also work in field to study the animals in their natural environment. Most zoologist also join the television exploratory channels such as Discovery, National geographic, History channel and they prepare scientific documentary related to animals. In fact this is a very fascinating field. To join such jobs, the person should love animals and have a passion to know about them. Practically speaking the scope of jobs of a zoologist as channel scientist are more in USA compared to India. The reason being that, they get more funds easily to study animals compared to Indian scenario. In India, the scope of jobs are more in teaching and research. The zoologist may join a college or university and teach the graduate or post graduate students. The zoologist who wish to carry out research at molecular levels on animals do have great scope in India as well as in USA. I know many zoologist, who initially were hardcore zoologist, but now they are working on molecular aspects of animal biology.
The scope are great in India and USA, it depends upon you where you will wish to work.
Good Luck...
