I am reposting this position for a SUN network administrator which we
wish to fill as soon as possible.  There are two reasons for the
reposting.  First, the authority to hire the SUN administrator has
recently landed in my group, and therefore I will be conducting the
interviews.  Second, the previous posting neglected to point out that
NIST can only hire U.S. citizens.  I found it unmanageable to attempt to
determine citizenship status of each person from the resumes that were
sent.  This citizenship rule is quite strict; even green card holders
are ineligible for full-time positions at NIST.

I am hoping to conduct interviews during December, and hire at that
time.  If you have previously responded to this posting, PLEASE RESPOND
AGAIN.
