>> They should have a PhD in computer science or related fields.
And, for example, my PhD was not in computer science,
but that was a long time ago; it was in operations research.
So they should have a PhD, and several publications now; that wasn't expected
when I first got in the biz, but these days we would expect to see you know several major--
publications in the leading conferences or journals.
We actually have some assignees from Germany that are pre you know pre PhDs.
We also have people who are on the PhD track for our summer internships,
but fresh out of school Bachelor's we really don't have the openings in research.
We have them elsewhere in IBM certainly, but not in research.
We are looking for people that we're likely to hire; it's really a try and buy.
So we're looking for people who are on the PhD track and are you know from universities
where we know the professors and that sort of thing.
