Science Department

The positions listed below are sorted into two classifications: 'Standard' and 'Duty Station'.

Duty Stations are positions with a predetermined list of requirements the position-holder has agreed to meet. These are special members who have volunteered to help with the running of the ship, and are prepared to commit to doing a specific job. There is a list of the Duty Stations and their associated responsibilities that can be found here. These members are vital to keeping the ship going, and we encourage everyone to look through the list and see if there is somewhere they feel they can contribute.

Standard positions are those with no specific job description associated with them. These are perfect for members are keen to help out, but don't want to be tied to a specific set of deliverables. These members are just as vital to the ship, as they fill in the blanks between Duty Stations, doing the jobs nobody expected needed to be done. Standard positions are also perfect for those members who don't have the time to contribute too actively, but still want to be part of the Dauntless experience.
