As a lot of biotechnology uses microbes (and getting a Ph.D. in Microbiology generally makes you biology literate), there is a demand for people with these skills to go into fields likePatent lawandTechnology transfer. Government
While there is significant overlap with what academic microbiologists study as well as government-working microbiologists, those in the government often deal with questions of bioterrorism and research surrounding microbiology as relevant to the military and public health. Outside of the research context, many scientists choose to go into administrative roles, such as grant management. Industry
From pharmaceutical, biotechnological, dairy to brewing companies, microbiologists are often employed to do research, quality control, produce development as well as manage facilities.
