There are 2 permanent software development positions open at the
Library of Congress in DC [1]. You'd need to apply before 02/02/2007.
The salary range is 93,822.00 - 121,967.00. The job description
emphasizes Java--but I'm led to believe that while knowledge of Java
is important, the work won't necessarily be limited to that language/
environment. I don't work in the unit that is hiring, but I could put
you in touch with someone who does if it would be useful (just ping
me off list).
