A conflict inside the notice — read it

The PDF is internally inconsistent on the second-class route. The opening summary says second class in the same degrees "with PhD in pharmaceutical chemistry/medicinal chemistry", while the Essential qualifications section says second class "with one year industrial/research experience". The Essential qualifications section is used here as the operative requirement, and the conflict is flagged so applicants are not misled. Read the official PDF linked below in full before applying.

Fee

No application fee is mentioned anywhere in the notice. Do not assume any fee.
