University of Ottawa · Southern Gulf Islands Electoral Area, British Columbia · $498,098 annually

applies via uottawa.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com (workday)

Verdict

The posting is from a legitimate, well-known Canadian institution (University of Ottawa) with a verified Workday ATS and reachable careers portal, which are strong legitimacy signals. However, there is a critical geographic mismatch: the posting claims the position is in Southern Gulf Islands, BC, but the University of Ottawa's only campuses are in Ottawa, Ontario. This location discrepancy is a moderate fraud indicator, though it may reflect a data entry error rather than intentional deception. The salary of $498,098 for a part-time mathematician/statistician role is unusually high and warrants scrutiny.
