Global Brands advertises job of a life-time

Global Brands is looking for candidates to carry out academic research into what makes the perfect night out.

The company's VK Vodka Kick brand is looking for a talented mathematician, scientist or statistician to visit the nation's biggest towns and cities and experience the nightlife.

But the applicant will be expected to deliver a full thesis at the end of the trip that must stack up to academic scrutiny by Britain's best brains.

The full job advert reads: "Wanted! Talented maths or science student or graduate to spend the summer literally discovering the formula of fun. Must be over 18 years of age like bars, clubs and pubs and be prepared to have a fantastic time in the quest for knowledge, science and the pursuit of the perfect night out."

Andrew Bond, creative manager at Global Brands, said: "This is the perfect job for somebody. Although the whole point of this is about having fun, the applicant must meet all the criteria of this very challenging and demanding role.

"Academically they will have to be first rate, and secondly they must enjoy socialising, be able to talk to people, let their hair down and have fun, night after night."
