China's State Oceanic Administration (SOA) recently began recruitment procedures in the search for two highly skilled female pilots to operate its deep-sea submersible.
The administration said that it had received nearly 100 applications and most are recent graduates holding master's degrees or doctorates.
The SOA will choose two female graduates with bachelor's degrees or higher between the ages of 22 and 30, with a height between 1.6 to 1.7 meters and good eyesight.
In the meantime, four male pilots aged 22 to 35 with heights ranging between 1.65 to 1.76 meters are being selected, according to the SOA.
Aside from the physical requirements, potential candidates must also have an academic background in mechanical or electrical engineering. |
