> My company, Webmind Inc., (www.webmind.com), is looking to hire a

> Foreign nationals are fine, as long

> -- familiarity with dynamical systems theory
> -- conceptual understanding of complex dynamical systems
> -- experience simulating complex systems on the computer
> -- knowledge of object-oriented design
> -- knowledge of Java
> -- fairly extensive programming experience
