The notice lists Director (7 posts), Joint Director (3), Research Scientist C (1), Deputy Director (1) and Senior Superintendent or Senior Superintendent (Accounts) (1). By my own sum that is 13 vacancies, and the agency says the numbers are indicative and may change. Deputation is first for three years, and officers with academic, technical, finance, administration, legal or examination-management experience are preferred.
The upper age limit is 56 years on the closing date.
