As mentioned below, I tried to find out about CIDA positions in the
Epidemiology area. HOwever, you can not access the OBS system without
subscribing and paying a $130/per year user fee plus on-line access user
fees plus who knows what other user fees. All I am trying to do is learn
about what this service has to offer, what sort of things CIDA is looking
for, etc. I find it very offensive that the government is charging such
large fees for access to this material. That's what my taxes are paying
for.
On a practical note, is there anyway the CANCHID list, CSIH or some other
group post an information package about what CIDA is placing on the OBS
so tha I can decide if I want to find the money to explore things
further???
