  system such as PERL, C++ or C; Knowledge of Prolog, AWK,
  Visual C++, Visual Basic or Java would be a plus.
* Knowledge of WindowsNT and UNIX.
* Good working knowledge of English and the ability to
  write
  reports in English; knowledge of French; German and

The Joint Research Centre (JRC) and Ispra

As the corporate research centre of the European
Commission, the JRC maintains a neutral and impartial
status which has led to the development of activities in
the areas of certification, standardisation and
accreditation. The Ispra site of the JRC employs
approximately 1800 people and is thus the biggest of the
five JRC sites in Europe. Its staff engage in a variety of
scientific areas, including the Environment, Space
Applications, Advanced Materials and Systems Safety. The
JRC has more than 800 partners involved in more than 140
collaboration agreements with national research
organisations, universities and private industry. The
high-level research and the multi-disciplinary and
multi-national ambience at the centre attract visiting
scientists and students from all over the world.

The activities of the unit Advanced Techniques for
Information Analysis comprise, among others: support to the
Commission's anti-fraud unit in the Directorate General
(UCLAF) and to the Statistical Office of the EC (EUROSTAT);
development of European databases; image compression and
analysis; 3-D imaging; information retrieval; information
processing for the fight against fraud; handling of large
amounts of data; multimedia systems.

Ispra is situated at the South end of the lake 'Lago
Maggiore' in Northern Italy and is surrounded by mountains
as well as several other lakes, being therefore an ideal
starting point for many different outdoors activities. The
multi-national community working at the centre is engaged
in a large variety of cultural and sports activities
offering over thirty sports clubs and interest groups.
Ispra is approximately an hour's drive from Milano (1 hour

Malpensa airport).

letter and two references to the address below.
