Have you ever wondered about how our Universe began? Or how many galaxies we share it with? Or whether there might be other life out there in the cosmos?

Radio astronomers investigate the Universe in a whole new way. 

Advancements in physics, engineering and data science have enabled us to see further into our universe than ever before. The field of radio astronomy uses wavelengths outside of the visible spectrum to capture information that we cannot see with our own eyes. 

Just as optical telescopes detect optical light, radio telescopes detect radio light. Astronomers use this data to learn more about objects in space and enhance our understanding of the Universe.

To facilitate this process, a skilled radio astronomer must manage complex equipment, collect scientific data, and interpret it to make new discoveries. 

Exciting new opportunities in astronomy are becoming a reality right here in Western Australia! The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is a project to build the largest radio astronomy observatory in the world — and part of the project will take place at the CSIRO’s Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory in outback WA.

If you have a drive to discover more about the Universe, consider launching yourself into a career in radio astronomy.

Imagine a world where the technology used to disastrous effect in ‘Jurassic Park’ could instead be used to revive recently extinct species that played important roles in our present ecosystems. This is exactly what an Extinct Species Revivalist will do. 

Using gene editing and cloning technology, Extinct Species Revivalists will revive lost species and reintegrate them into their natural environments, in order to restore the natural balance that was lost by the species’ extinction. 

Working with ecologists, zoologists and other scientists, Extinct Species Revivalists will learn how a species’ extinction negatively impacted its former environment. They’ll need to weigh up the risks and benefits of restoring an extinct species. They’ll likely have to seek approval from a local jurisdiction in order to revive a species, so as to limit the negative impact of a species revival. This work will need to be highly regulated to prevent a ‘Jurassic Park-like’ incident, but it will be vital for maintaining species diversity and healthy ecosystems. 

Education: Extinct Species Revivalists will need an advance science degree such as Molecular Biology, Molecular Genetics, or Evolutionary Biology.

Do you want to work in space? Do you dream of someday living on another planet? Maybe you’ll become a Terraforming Microbiologist. 

As commercial spaceflight becomes more affordable it’s only a matter of time before inhabiting another planet becomes an attainable goal rather than a dream from the pages of a Science Fiction novel. While we presently have the technology to create livable indoor habitats, space explorers still require spacesuits with life-support in order to go outdoors when in outer space. Terraforming Microbiologists will work to change that. 

These scientists will work as part of larger terraforming teams to make Mars (and possibly other planets) habitable for humans by creating a breathable atmosphere. Terraforming Microbiologists will work to overcome the challenges of Mars’s lack of magnetic field and atmosphere using microbes to create fertile soil and breathable air. 

It’s likely that NASA will fund most of this research, though some members of the private sector may also participate. 

Terraforming Microbiologists will need advanced qualifications in microbiology and a keen interest in space. They’ll need an understanding of the composition of Mars’ soil and atmosphere.

Are you interested in helping produce more sustainable food? Do you have an interest in insects? You could become a cricket farmer. Now a lot of western cultures consider eating insects a bit gross, but if we want more efficient and environmentally friendly protein sources, cricket farming will become common practice. 

Cricket farms will produce large quantities of high-quality protein, micronutrients, calcium, zinc, and heme iron, while requiring not a lot of space compared to cattle farms. As such Cricket Farmers will be able to work in urban environments using vertical systems that take up very little space. They’ll use robots and intelligent systems to monitor the crickets, and maintain ideal conditions and growth rates. 

Cricket Farmers will need to maintain the robots and systems they use to raise the crickets. They’ll also need to design and implement cricket breeding programs depending on market needs. They’ll also be responsible for experimenting and creating a range of cricket-based products. 

Crickets are not only a good source of protein and other nutrients, they’re also very energy efficient as they consume plant products and produce little waste. They can be turned into high-protein flour, protein bars or crispy, deep-fried snacks. 

Cricket Farmers won’t necessarily need a formal education, however those interested in cricket breeding might want to pursue a higher education in entomology.

Do you want a job that allows you to work the land without irreparably harming your environment? Perhaps you have a future as an Agroecological Farmer. 

Just like traditional farmers, Agroecological Farmers will grow crops and/or produce biofuel, however, they’ll also work to restore and maintain an agricultural balance. Rather than clear-cutting and farming the land, Agroecological Farmers will create agricultural ecosystems by not just planting crops but also trees, shrubs and weeds. These intercropping techniques will create microclimate that will keep farms sustainable while repelling pest insects. The use of targeted irrigation will prevent erosion-causing run-off. These techniques will also prevent the loss of soil nutrients. 

Agroecological Farmers could be based in either rural areas or urban areas where they could run vertical farms. They’ll use many technologies such as robots to work their fields, gene editing to create hardier crops, and big data to help optimise their efficiency. They can embed sensors to measure how much fertiliser they need, air temperature, and how much watering is needed. 

Agroecological Farmers will need to understand how plants, soil, insects, animals, nutrients, water, and weather interact within living systems. They’ll need to understand sustainable food growth. If desired Agroecological Farmers could obtain any number of agricultural specialties these would including horticulture, soil science, or land management.

Does the weather fascinate you? Have you ever wished you could control the weather? Well, that wish might not be all that far-fetched. Weather Control Engineers or Geo-Engineers will work for the government to monitor and maintain the planet’s ideal climate, ensuring ecological diversity. 

Weather Control Engineers will cool the planet using carbon capture and storage technologies. They’ll also release chemical filters into the atmosphere to deflect sunlight. They’ll use drones to seed clouds and create rain and control lightning using lasers. Weather Control Engineers will even be able to drain the energy out of hurricanes and cyclones to reuse elsewhere. 

This job will require a good sense of restraint as manipulating the weather too much could end in catastrophe. We wouldn’t want to end up in a Snowpiercer situation, now would we? To avoid over-correcting, weather control will not only be tightly regulated, but weather control engineers will need to run in-depth simulations prior to taking any real-world weather manipulation actions. 

Weather Control Engineers will need advanced qualifications in climate science and meteorology.

Science Fiction such as Mad Max and Dune often depict future societies where drinking water is so scarce that it’s become a form of currency. While these examples might seem extreme, there is a grain of truth to them. Despite climate change bringing increases in extreme weather and contributing to rising sea-levels, the global supply of drinkable water is getting smaller. Fresh water is essential not only for human survival but for food production, manufacturing, and the preservation of wilderness. As the water supply diminishes, Water Management Specialists will become an even more essential member of future communities. 

As the name suggests, Water Management Specialists will help communities manage water sources and will work to recycle, recondition, and distribute water. Not only will Water Management Specialists be responsible for developing solutions for wastewater reclamation, water recycling, targeted watering, and groundwater management, they’ll also have to make sure they work using smart solutions such as advanced sensors. These experts will work with specialists in ecological and urban engineering and design to create technological water management solutions. 

Water Management Specialists will need advanced qualifications in Water Management.

Are you concerned about the effects of climate change? Do you want a career that will work to help communities combat the changes in their environment? As sea levels rise and extreme weather produces excessive rain and flooding, it will be important for communities to develop more effective water management strategies. Flood Control Engineers will play an ever more important role in their communities. 

In the future, variations in water volume due to extreme storms and flooding will be mitigated through a combination of smart technology and green infrastructure. These strategies will better manage rainwater, create living shorelines of re-established coastal wildlife (including wetlands, mangroves, reefs, and oyster beds), create movable flood barriers that will be monitored and managed by AI sensors, and establish rain gardens and green roofs for channeling rainwater. It will be the job of a Flood Control Engineer to work with their communities to educate them about these systems and strategies. 

Flood Control Engineers will need to be highly qualified in hydrology and water flow management as well as knowledgeable in the technologies used in their field. It’s recommended that Flood Control Engineers achieve at least a master’s degree in Hydrology or Water Management.

Are you good with numbers and interested in marketing but with a desire to work in an ethical field? Then perhaps you will find work as a Community Farm Finance Broker. 

In the future, more and more small farms will move to a crowd-funded production model. Individuals and/or families will invest in a farm and receive either produce or money in return for their investment. Instead of the farmers finding investors on their own, a Community Farm Finance Broker will act as a go-between between the farmer and their investors, leaving the farmer to focus on the day-to-day running of their farm. 

It’s likely that local vegetable farms, cricket farms, or aquaponic fish farms will be owned by local residents and community organisations, allowing everyone to not only be involved in their food production but to have a vested interest in the process. This will strengthen not only community members’ connection to their food production but also increase food security. 

The Community Farm Finance Broker will not only be good at finance but will use their strong ethics to persuade members of their community to make more community-minded choices. 

While not necessarily requiring a formal education a Community Farm Finance Broker will need a good understanding of finance and agroecological farming practices, as well as an ability to market and promote ethical, community-minded farming.

AI Intellectual Property Negotiators will be legal professionals who work on behalf of clients to secure ownership of the products of their creativity, including new technologies, products, and software. As innovation continues to blossom, so too will the need to protect the rights of innovators. With an increase in innovation will come an increase in the demand for patents, trademarks, industrial designs, copyright and other forms of intellectual property titles. In the future such processes will only grow more complex. 

AI Intellectual Property Negotiators will not only work on behalf of those developing AI software and algorithms but will also negotiate on behalf of artificially intelligent entities that have developed intellectual property of their own. Additionally, these legal professionals will represent clients in intellectual property suits when AIs have used their ideas without permission. 

AI Intellectual Property Negotiators will need a law degree with expertise in intellectual property law pertaining to their jurisdiction. They will also need to keep up to date on the latest AI developments.
