Open Positions at NASA HQ: Planetary Science Division Director and NASA Deputy Chief Scientist
“NASA is now advertising for the Director of the Planetary Science Division in the Science Mission Directorate. In addition, NASA is now advertising for the Deputy Chief Scientist in the Office of the Chief Scientist (OCS).”
Mike Freilich gave such an awesome presentation at COSPAR of all the remarkable capability NASA has in Earth science missions, I thought at that time how lucky we were to have that level of intensity and knowledge at the head of that Division. I’ll just have to be glad to have him for 6 more months.
