Recently, NASA is finding a Planetary Protection Officer. So, NASA open up the vacancies for it. It sounds like the greatest job titles ever. The Guardian of the planet, in real world...isn't it. Can't you imagine the annual salary package is also impressive....that is $124,000 and $187,000. The candidate must be a US citizen or national and hold a degree in physical science, engineering, or mathematics, will make sure that no microbial life travels from Earth to infect other planets, and vice versa. The job seems like a intresting but the competition to get this job is very tough i guess. But if you getting selected then you get to work with really smart people as part of the three- to five-year appointment but don't have to manage anyone and your work could stave off an alien invasion of Earth or, more important, protect other planets from us. If you think this job is new kind of job, then you are wrong....Do you know this job was created in 1967 in order to make the US compliant with the International Outer Space Treaty. Catharine Conley (the NASA scientist) has been in this role for three years, has spoken candidly about its scope and responsibilities, telling Scientific American in 2014 that her focus is to ensure that the NASA activity complies with a 50yr old international treaty that set standards for preventing biological contamination outside of Earth and safeguarding the planet's biosphere from any alien life. Now get back to offer job, I've told you about the requirement for this job but do you know what kind of job this officer get....this officer will be to help ensure about bio-leak doesn't happen for real not just when humans come back from alien worlds, but when robot probes do too. Also, the job of the Planetary Protection Officer is to establishing and developing better quality control standards so that clean rooms where spacecraft of the agency are assembled stay clean and disinfection of the spacecraft before the launch actually works because if damage or any problem could create a huge problem for them. So these were few main task or jobs for this officer. In this job there could be several small kind of tasks that can't tell to publically. If you are eligible for this job then you can apply for this job. hope you like this news and upvoting me.
