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 it’s a great job 
because I currently occupy it.  I’m 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.
