ludemann@ubc-cs.UUCP (Peter Ludemann) (09/21/85)
Location: about 7 hours from Harbin (Manchuria).
Job: doing the necessary software (and possibly hardware)
things to keep 2 microVAXes (running VMS) running and
processing forestry data; training the local people.
Pay: competitive. Also hardship compensation + generous
housing/living/etc. benefits package + holidays + ...
When: starting sometime before May '86. One month in Canada,
12 months in China and one more month in Canada. This
schedule is subject to some change.
Preferred abilities:
- degree + 5 years programming / system analysing /
kick-starting operating systems.
- Chinese (Mandarin) speaking.
- forestry / database / numerical analysis.
- resourcefulness in figuring out problems using only
the existing manuals.
- able to stay the full length of the contract. This is
at least as important as the other requirements.
General comments: This is a very isolated location, both physically and
culturally. There will be only a few non-Chinese around.
The weather has been described as colder than Winnipeg
although the summers are apparently fairly pleasant.
It will definitely be an EXPERIENCE to put on your resume.
