R&D agency looks for recruits

In his debut speech as director of the new Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency, David Bolka asked a packed house to help the agency hire technology experts and leaders.

"This is a great opportunity for recruitment," Bolka said at a bidders conference in late September. "We have hiring capability ... that allows us to pay competitive compensation."

The agency wants people who are willing to take on projects two or three years long, he said. It can hire up to 20 people at competitive market rates.
