Do you qualify for a Science Leader or Science Mentor position?
You don’t need to be a marine biologist, an oceanographer, or even a traditional research scientist to be a Science Leader or Science Mentor! We use the term “Science Leader” to be inclusive of individuals working in science and science-related fields who guide and inspire others by influencing knowledge with their thinking and ideas. Science Leaders are involved in efforts that build knowledge about our world, help solve problems facing our planet, improve human lives, and make our world a better place. Science Leaders can come from a wide variety of science and science-related fields, including
- Computer and mathematical scientists
- Biological, agricultural, and environmental life scientists
- Physical scientists (e.g., physicists, chemists, geoscientists)
- Social scientists (e.g., psychologists, economists, sociologists)
- Engineers
- Postsecondary teachers in science and science-related fields
- Health care workers (e.g., physicians, audiologists, nurses)
- Science and science-related managers (e.g., engineering managers, natural and social science managers)
- Science and engineering pre-college teachers (e.g., science teachers, math teachers)
- Technologists and technicians
- Other science and science-related occupations (e.g., actuaries, architects)
- College students majoring in a science-related field
