Just curious, since I'm not in academia, but is this a typical  
compensation ($18,000/yr).  Is this for a full time job? Or is the  
person going to be out getting some other funds, and the subject  
research is just part of their overall work.  Or do they get some  
other stipend/living allowance.  (Here in California, this would be  
just about minimum wage: $8/hr = $16k/yr)
