"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:
Often working closely with the medical department, the biologist’s role entails the study of botany, biology, zoology, and other life sciences. A biologist will be familiar with the inner workings of biological systems and will work closely with xenobiology, and aquatic specialists.
Exobiologist
Classification: Officer
Description:
Exobiologists deal with the search for extraterrestrial life, and they also study the effects of alien surroundings on living organisms. Your job is to keep the away team alive in unknown environments.
Microbiologist
Classification: Officer
Description:
Microbiologists will focus their research and study on microorganisms such as bacteria, algae, and fungi.
Botanist
Classification: Officer
Description:
Botany covers a wide range of scientific disciplines that study the growth, reproduction, metabolism, development, diseases, ecology, and evolution of plants. Botanists are responsible for cataloging any new species of plants, collection of specimens, and studying the properties of collected specimens.


Physical Sciences

Assistant Chief Science Officer, Physical 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.
Chemist
Classification: Officer
Description:
A chemist is an expert in chemistry, especially with chemicals known and unknown to Starfleet.
Physicist
Classification: Officer
Description:
A physicist is a scientist trained in the study of physical phenomena spanning from the function of subatomic particles (material physics) to the behavior of the material universe as a whole (cosmology). There are numerous branches of physics and each has its corresponding specialists, such as astrophysics, geophysics, biophysics, etc.


Stellar Sciences

Astrophysicist
Classification: Officer
Description:
Responsible for determination of fundamental positions, motions, and distances of selected celestial objects. Observations made with astronomical instruments are used to conduct investigations on characteristics of these objects. An astrometrics specialist will have a firm knowledge of stellar phenomena including, but not limited to: nebulae, stellar types, black holes and other spatial anomalies, gravitational distortions, and more.
Stellar Cartographer
Classification: Officer
