The USIPO is planning to fill a number of critically needed positions in the organization that will result in building the strongest possible team to make the US ITER Project a success. This expansion is to provide the top-level management and some of the technical support teams necessary to perform R&D and design of the various hardware systems and subsystems presently identified as the US contributions to ITER.

The USIPO has a new link on its web site, which contains a Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEI) that seeks to gather information on interested performers for these roles. Also included is an overview of the US contributions to ITER hardware systems and information on the specific positions that are available in the USIPO organization. There will also be a general announcement in FedBizOps to identify this RFEI and enable and encourage participation from all interested organizations.

Additional information is on the US ITER Project Office public web site at http://www.iter-us.org where individuals and organizations can identify areas of interest and submit expressions of interest using the web input form.
