Laboratory.
This is a good mid-level position for people that want to play with
*nix and get a good reference job for a senior position somewhere.
Remember what we've talked about where these postings are "best case"
and in a lot of situations, they'll pick someone that could grow into
things, if the personality is right.
If you connect to it from Firefox, change your User Agent to IE8 and
the PDF will load just fine. (Government sites. *sigh*)
If you apply, mention me and you'll bypass some of the HR annoyances.
