Applications are open for the world’s most remote jobs - with all expenses paid.
If you like the idea of abandoning life in the city or are just flexible enough to adventure off-grid for some work, applications are now open for a variety of roles at research stations in Antarctica.
The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is hiring carpenters, chefs, electricians and plumbers to take remote work all the way to the seventh continent. Salaries for contracts between six and 18 months start from £29,273 ($36,340) per annum, and all expenses, including accommodation, food, travel, specialist clothing and training, are covered.
Diving officer, meteorological observer and ocean scientist jobs are now live on the BAS website, with successful applicants starting anytime between May and September.
According to BAS, vacancies for chefs, station leaders and zoological field assistants will be listed over the next three months. The institute called the job openings on the UK’s Antarctica bases, including Rothera and Halley Station, the “opportunity of a lifetime”.
The BAS website says that staff can expect a stimulating work environment with state-of-the-art research facilities, the opportunity to work in the Earth’s greatest wilderness areas and learn new skills.
