physiologist

Physiologists study and exert research on the functioning of different living organisms, the parts they are composed of, and their interactions. They understand the fashion in which living systems react to factors such as diseases, physical activity, and stress, and use that information to develop methods and solutions to even out the effect that those stimuli have in living bodies.

The most in-demand skills for this role include human physiology, laboratory techniques, biology, human anatomy, histology, scientific research methodology. These are the skills O*NET identifies as most important for competent performance.

Our AI-durability model gives physiologist a score of 0.50 on a 0-1 scale (higher = more exposure). That places it at moderate AI exposure — some tasks are being automated but the role adapts. Learning to work with AI tools rather than against them is the path forward.
