Please find below a job description for a studio director for a new research
studio being established by the Interactive Institute in Sweden. This
position  is still open, and the priority is in finding a woman for the 
position.
The official opening of the studio will be 1 September. The research
director  will have the prime responsibility for appointing additional 
staff for the
studio, and coordinating acquisition of equipment etc., for which there is
already a pretty good budget (several hundred thousand euros).

The studio will be in Gotland, which is a bit isolated, but that could be
good or bad. .....
