>> So my name is Guy Lowman and I work for IBM Research and I work on research and databases.
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 into the biz, but these days we would expect
to see several major publications in the leading conferences or journals
