It does sound interesting, but I'm not looking to relocate.  However, I'm 
interested in Doug's opinion that the pay is pathetic.  I live in the simple land 
of Oklahoma, and I know our cost of living is "sweet."  
   
  Doug, is your salary descriptor because of the Chicago location or the fact that 
a pharmaceutical company is offering a "pathetic" salary to a advanced degree 
professional?

  Hi folks,

Of possible interest. The pay is pathetic, but...

It's an interesting job description. Is the "Intelligencenter" what I think
it is?

Happy New Year,

Doug
