AP reports that the MI-5, the British agency responsible for domestic espionage has posted an ad for a “Chief Scientific Advisor”. “Q” was James Bond’s go to guy for weapons, vehicles and other assorted gadgets designed to create mayhem.
Candidates for the MI5 job need to be at least 18, British or naturalized citizens who have “world-class scientific expertise and credibility in relevant scientific and technology disciplines, outstanding influencing and communication skills, experience of building an effective network and of creating a high quality team.”
While no salary was mentioned the hours are great, requiring only two or three days a week. So British Boffins get your CVs together. This could be your shot at the big time.
