Engineers In Research 
The Forest Service is a world leader in research in the 
field of forest management and wood products. 
For the research-minded engineer, highly specialized, 
with advanced degrees—the Forest Service offers 
exceptional opportunities. Research engineers work 
on wood engineering, solid wood products, wood fibers 
and wood chemistry, mechanization of field operations, 
development of new engineering techniques of forest 
products utilization systems, and wood structure 
design principles. Forest Service research laboratories 
also use engineers in forest fire research, timber 
harvest, and forest products transportation methods. 
The Forest Service is justly proud of its internationally 
renowned Forest Products Laboratory at 
Madison, Wisconsin. 
Forest Service Research Engineers work closely with 
some of the world’s leading engineers and scientists— 
officials in private industry, experts from other countries 
and other government agencies, and a variety of 
other research specialists. This cooperative effort is part 
of the research engineer’s growth—both personally 
and professionally. The Forest Service Research 
Engineer helps to provide our Nation with an 
abundance of wood, water, forage, and recreation 
without destroying the delicate balance of nature 
necessary for the survival of forest resources.
