seeking TC / TW experts

["Thomas Orr" <t-orr -at- u-aizu -dot- ac -dot- jp>]

This may not be the best place to post this, but I'd really like to get the 
attention of experts in TechCom / TechWriting / Tech Anything, who may be 
interested in a university job in Japan that allows them to continue 
business activities on the side.  We are really short of experts here, and 
thus there is plenty of opportunity to make twice here what someone can make 
in Silicon Valley or anywhere else.

Thanks for allowing me to post this,

Thomas Orr, Director
Center for Language Research
School of Computer Science and Engineering
University of Aizu
