MI5, the UK's domestic intelligence agency, is set to appoint a chief scientific advisor.
Apparently, the role will involve "working with intelligence staff to combat terrorism and support counter-intelligence operations". Candidates will need to have world-class scientific expertise and outstanding communication skills.
There are a few people here at Public that could fulfill the second part of that requirement, unfortunately, our world-class scientific expertise needs a little work...
Those with more active imaginations are of the opinion that MI5 are actually on the look out for a real-life Q, the mastermind behind James Bond's life-saving gadgets such the laser beam Rolex and Aston Martin complete with machine guns and ejector seat.
Applications close on 24 April, so you'll have to be quick. Oh, and the best job in Britain, in case you were wondering, well that's '007 of course.
