"Starfleet Science"

General Science

Chief Science Officer
Classification: Officer
Description:
The Chief Science Officer is responsible for all the scientific data the ship/facility collects, and the distribution of such data to specific section within the department for analysis. S/he is also responsible with providing the ship's captain with scientific information needed for command decisions. S/he also is a department head and a member of the Senior Staff and responsible for all the crew members in her/his department and duty rosters.
Assistant Chief Science Officer
Classification: Officer
Description:
Responsible for assisting the Chief of Science in the day-to-day running of the department. While carrying out their own duties they also oversee the rest of the department's research.
Science Officer
Classification: Officer
Description:
While the fields of Science are very specific, non-specialized Science Officers are needed all across the fleet. Oftentimes, your first posting after graduating from the Academy will be as a Science Officer. The Science Officer will work with the specialists and CSO to assist in their specialties, perform tests and analysis.
Science Laboratory Technician
Classification: Enlisted
Description:
Lab Technicians are responsible for assisting the specialist in their respective tasks, collecting data, running experiments, and collecting samples. This position, like the research assistant, is a temporary responsibility as the need arises.


Life Sciences

Assistant Chief Science Officer, Life Sciences
Classification: Officer
Description:
Vessels with large science departments may elect to divide management of the science departments into sub-departments. This specialized Assistant Chief is responsible for assisting the Chief of Science in the day-to-day running of the department, while carrying out their own duties they also oversee the rest of the department's research.
Biologist
Classification: Officer
Description:
