As far as I know, he never was appointed to a high government scientific post, but he did campaign against nuclear weapons and advise government officials. In the Reagan and Bush era, it would have been unlikely anyway, given his liberal and reasoned stances against Star Wars and nuclear weapons. In my opinion he was treated unfairly for not being elected to the Natl Academy of Sciences as well as for not being awarded the Medal of Science, both of which he definitely deserved.

Do you have any idea if he ever was a scientific advisor to a President? Too bad Carl Sagan isn’t with us anymore. Do you have any idea if he ever was a scientific advisor to a President?
