And we don\u2019t just work in traditional labs. We\u2019re designing instruments for the first probe to touch the Sun. We\u2019re developing hardware to detect compounds on Mars. Whether you\u2019re working on the launch pad or studying the potential of DNA sequencing for crew health on the International Space Station\u2014we\u2019re involved in research and operations that will make an enduring impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our scientists are always up for a challenge and our innovative culture ensures that no two days are the same. You\u2019ll have the freedom to choose which projects within NASA\u2019s science portfolio you work on. To pursue your dream project, it takes patience, resiliency and a proactive nature to work through the proposal and funding process\u2014but you\u2019re rewarded with the opportunity to solve problems no one else in the world has had a chance to tackle.  In addition to pioneering cutting-edge research, our scientists have a unique ability to share their findings with the wide NASA community, partners, and the public to ensure our critical work is accessible to everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NASA also employs scientists who play a critical role in science management. Program, project and discipline scientists work together to carry out science investigations, monitor program execution and ensure the scientific success of the mission. And, our discipline scientists also manage research programs, develop policy and maintain oversight of budget and scientific progress of selected investigations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Employee Spotlight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:7px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Meet Sarah Noble, a discipline scientist in the planetary science division.
