Please note that inquiries should go directly to the person (Paula Causey) indicated below, and applications can be submitted as indicated. Tom Steele ---------------Original Message--------------- JOB HEADS-UP I just wanted to let the Japan crowd out there know about a great job in the State Department that is opening up this week. I know its a great job because I currently occupy it. Im leaving for personal reasons, and am hoping that someone interested in and committed to the U.S. relationship with Japan takes it over. The job is in the State Department Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR/EAP, to those in the know). It is a legitimate State Department job (not with one of our "sister agencies"). The official job title is Intelligence Research Specialist, bureaucratese for Japan Analyst. The job has fantastic access to policy makers, both in the State Department and throughout Washington. For the information junkies out there, the data flow is beyond your wildest dreams: because INR is all-source you see all the government traffic on Japan. Outside academic pursuits are encouraged and supported. Because INR is so small, the area of responsibility and freedom of action are very broad. And the colleagues in INR are possibly the most impressive bunch of long-standing East Asia specialists you will find in government. The learning curve working with these folks is almost vertical. Candidates for the job should have at least a Masters in one of the social sciences and several years experience doing analysis (academic or otherwise) on Japan, with some knowledge of Korea. The announcement talks about a completed Ph.D. or at least 54 semester hours, but experience can be substituted. To be happy in the job, you should be a real self-starter with solid writing skills. The listing for the job is OPM number AR0258 and can be found on-line at: http://www.usajobs.opm.gov/wfjic/jobs/AR0258.HTM You must have your application in by January 20, 1998. If you have questions you need answered, contact my Office Director--Paula Causey--at ACpcause () us-state osis gov (make sure that the first two letters are capitalized, and that the rest are lowercase). She can also be reached by phone at 202-647-1339. If you're not interested in this job, but know someone that might be, please pass the word. ------------------------------------- Name: Laura Stone E-mail: AClstone () us-state osis gov Date: 01/02/98 Time: 13:56:28 This message was sent by Chameleon ------------------------------------- ----------End of Original Message---------- ------------------------------------- Name: Laura Stone E-mail: AClstone () us-state osis gov Date: 01/02/98 Time: 14:18:52 This message was sent by Chameleon ------------------------------------- ----------End of Original Message---------- ------------------------------------- Name: Thomas A.
