Description:
The Scientific Department, also abbreviated as ScD, researches and experiments on the anomalous entities held by the Foundation itself known as SCPs. The Scientific Department has always been deemed the heart of this fantastic organization, and here it strives to fit this standard as active members of the scientific community. Each rank, no matter what status, contribute to the countless findings made each day while examining these SCPs contained on-site. Maturity, intelligence, and creativity is expected of all Scientific members.
Being a member of Scientific Department allows the scientist to take part in many new, intriguing activities such as group testing, cross-testing and object-testing. Testing SCPs is what fuels the Scientific Department in the long run, which keeps many members active as they test on new, undiscovered entities. Note that failing to conduct tests after a prolonged amount of time will result in dismissal from the Scientific Department.
Currently, the only way to achieve a position in the Scientific Department is to fill out an application as a Level 1 or Level 2 personnel. Both Chief Researchers carefully review applications every single day to accept new members into the Scientific Department. Once a member has entered the group after being accepted, they notice that they have acquired the role of “Entrant”, the lowest rank in ScD.
To rank up, members need to submit multiple testing reports. The reports are letter graded using a rubric from A to F. Minuses and Pluses are also included while being graded. In order to reach the next rank, a combination of A’s and B’s are needed. Senior Researchers take part in grading reports, as well as many other things such as doing inspections, promotions, supervisions and tests.
