🇪🇸🇳🇱🏴🇨🇭 11 scicomm offers inside
Happy Sunday! As always, you’ll find the job offers below, there’s eleven of them this time. If you see more positions, send them my way! Either through Twitter or the Google Forms. I was writing this with a cat on my lap while my girlfriend plays The Last of Us, so there is no music in this issue. Just a weird mix of a vibrating cat purring, screams, shots and zombies. Trust me, is better that there’s no audio this time.
