I hope this isn't seen as an abuse of the list, but the listmembers might be just the right community to help with this.We're hoping to recruit an additional team member to theIUCr R&D group, as detailed below, and we'd be very gratefulif you could circulate this notice among contacts who mightfind it of interest. Although the advertised position isnot directly related to scientific data, it's likely thatthe right candidate would become involved in expanding ourdata publishing expertise. We will consider recent graduates,but some hands-on experience of database management wouldbe a definite advantage.
Thank you.Brian
