I am re-posting this message without the attachment. Apparently some folks
on the list are not able to open attachments. I have included the job
posting below. The person currently in the position is leaving the country
in a month and would like to train her replacement. However, if we are not
able to hire someone within that time frame, we will hire an interim
(local) person for a couple of months until the right candidate is found.
