JOB SEARCH/ASTRONOMY: A Sidebar Question

I have no hope of qualifying for the job, I suspect, but as someone interested in astronomy in general the National Research Council advert caught my attention anyway. NRC is looking for a "Radio Astronomy Signal Chain Engineer" for their Herzberg Astronomy and Astrophysics Research Centre as I write this. Does anyone in my friendlist know what goes into that job?

TREK: A thought about the Picard series

An intuition:

The Star Trek "Novel-'verse" many of us have been reading - and some of us, writing - this past decade or so has been travelling down the road where Picard took Kirk's advice in Generations to heart and kept it there.

What we're about to see on TV or streaming video - depending on where we live - is what happened on the road where he set Kirk's advice aside for reasons that seemed to make sense when he made the choice.
