[Paul]

Below are the Job Profile and Selection Criteria for a three month position for a Python developer at the Bureau of Meteorology's Head Office, located in the Docklands, Melbourne. The pay is at a rate of $68699 to $77002 per annum, depending upon previous Public Service experience.

More extensive advertising for this position is due to be finalised on Thursday. However, if there is a suitable applicant before Thursday, then the wider advertising can be canceled and that applicant can be employed much sooner than if we advertise more widely and wait for responses. (The Public Service employment rules are somewhat flexible for positions of less than 12 months duration.)

If you are interested, please send your CV and contact details to me (p.dyson at bom.gov.au) before Thursday (1/4/2010).
