Anybody want to run the Global Volcanism Program?

One of the best resources for volcanism on the planet needs someone to run it:

National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution,
Washington D.C. anticipates hiring a distinguished scientist to become
the Director of the Global Volcanism Program and to conduct a research
program in volcanology in the Department of Mineral Sciences. As a
Federal employee, the successful candidate will be expected to serve
as Curator making major contributions to the field of volcanology
through research and publications, and to oversee the Global Volcanism
Program's documenting and reporting of the world's volcanoes in order
to develop a space/time understanding of global volcanism. U.S.
citizenship is a requirement for the position. An official
announcement of this position is expected in the coming weeks.

We invite potential candidates to send letters of interest and vitae
to Dick Fiske (fisker at si.edu).

Here's to hoping that someone who truly understands how incredible the GVP database is and how it can be expanded so that almost anyone can access the wealth of information that is still out there on volcanism, igneous petrology and hazards.

Checking my cv. Nooo, no I'm definitely not qualified. I will, however, refer one Dr. E. Klemetti.
