GSGKT writes: "Interested in finding innovated ways to blow things up, pimp fast cars, invent new technology, and not have to worry about permits and budgets? The UK security service MI5 is looking for James Bond style gagdget-maker 'Q' as chief scientific adviser to "lead and co-ordinate" its scientific work.
According to a report in the Telegraph, the job is being advertised on MI5's website (Britain's domestic intelligence agency) with the successful applicant expected to use their expertise to thwart terror operations around the world, 'to lead and co-ordinate the scientific work of the Security Service so that the service continues to be supported by excellent science and technology advice'. MI5's chief science adviser would help 'to frustrate terrorism, to prevent espionage hurting the UK, protect our critical national infrastructure and to frustrate the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
Applications for the MI5 science job close on April 24, and could take up to six months to process (just like any government job applications). Good luck, guys."
