There are, on some scientific stations, jobs as bus drivers, garbage staff, housekeepers, administrative personnel, cooks, dishwashers, computer staff, vehicle mechanics, science lab staff, and so forth.
The communities are self-sufficient, so all work performed on a science station is performed by employees of the government sponsoring the science conducted there. This research is basically a product of the United Nations and joint effort between corresponding administrations.
Some other jobs:
-- Jobs in geology studying the how the magnetic poles change their polarity.
-- Some climate research jobs, in everything from ice cores to sea ice plotting.
-- NASA has a facility there and astronomers use it to map the cosmos.
