Stellenauschreibung ICRC Genf (WG: [swiss-lib] Our Ref - RH_REC/GVA02E2567 : Annonce)

[Rohde Bernd <bernd.rohde _at__ stub.unibe.ch>]

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

das Internationale Komitee des Roten Kreuzes in Genf bietet folgende
interessante Stelle an, für deren Besetzung sicherlich auch
Bibliothekare/innen aus dem gesamten deutschsprachigen Raum in Frage kommen
können, besonders da es sich um eine internationale und keine nationale
Institution handelt.
Daher leite ich nach Rücksprache mit dem Stellenausschreiber und auf dessen
Bitte diese Stellenausschreibung aus Swiss-Lib gerne an INETBIB weiter.

Viele Grüsse
Bernd Martin Rohde, Bern
