[Michele_Berkes -at- CCMAIL -dot- OSTI -dot- GOV]

     Hello techwr-lers,

     I found the following position description on the Web site at the
     International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, Austria. It's not a good
     match for me, but it sounded too interesting not to share. I've
     omitted some info from this version; for the complete description, see
     http://www.iaea.org/worldatom/vacancies/97p062.html .

     N.B. I have *no* connections with regard to this position. Please see
     http://www.iaea.org/worldatom/vacancies/ for links to the list of
     open positions, details about how to apply, etc.

     Happy hunting!
