Apparently Canada is hiring all the obscure combinations of skillsets for science-adjacent jobs right now?

If you're bilingual in our official languages, a trained translator, and love science, why not be an official science translator?

I don't know how much of this is us continuing to recover from Harper's War on Science vs how much is staving off pandemic-depression through public service, but I love it.

Epilogue:
1. I didn't include any of the (MANY) student or recent graduate positions. If that's you, check them out.

2. I did a quick scan of provincial public service jobs, and while not quite as exuberant, they're also clearly in hiring mode.

Good luck!!!!
