I forgot to mention that there is also a 5 year position in the
Office for Strategic Initiatives as well [1]. Similar pay range
($93,822.00 - $121,967.00), similar title (Information Technology
Specialist)...but a slightly different (more interesting imho) job
description. I'm led to believe that these 5 year contracts can be
extended. Unfortunately I just noticed this one, and the online
application deadline is 01/26/2007.
This is the unit I'm currently working in so ping me if you are
interested/curious.
