Explorer scientist
The Explorer Scientist is someone who, like the crew of the Enterprise, is on a journey of discovery “to boldly go where no one has gone before”. They rarely focus on a specific outcome or impact, rather they want to know the next piece of the jigsaw of scientific understanding and knowledge.
They are likely to be found in a university or research centre, or in Research & Development (R&D) at an organisation, and are likely to be working alone.
