Dear Tinbergen,
We have at the mcment a vacancy in the Statistical Section, and,
in spite of the fact that we have many candidates, we have not yet
been able to fill this post,
I am writing to you because I think that the post is a very
interesting one for a person with the right mentali-ty, and I am wondering whether you might have a name to suggest» The post is described
as that of a professional statistician at a junior level, his duties
being "to perform as directed assipranents in fields of economic or
statistical research and analysis" and the qualifications required are
"good or firet-class honours degree in economics and/or statistics;'
at least two years practical experience in one or both of these fields,^
and demonstrated ability to carry out research work involving critical
judgment".
The person to fill this post would be responsible for the
selection of sources, assembling statistical data from such sources,
the establishment of estimates, etc. He would be called upon to draft
notes on sources and methods and generally assist in the work of economic
analysis carried out in the Division»
I should like to add that we are attempting to introduce a much
greater degree of interchangeability of statistical posts and those
more exclusively confined to ecmcmic analysis. For the post in question
we are looking for a really good young man who will be able to participate
in the work on our Siorveys, etc.
We have been writing to other countries as well, and don't yet know
whether the result of those letters will be successful. I am pretty
sure, however, that if you could give us the name of a good candidate,
this man would have a good chance of being considered for the job.
I should like you to consider this letter as personal, and not to
mention it in other correspondence v;hich you may have iriLth other members
of our Secretariat.
With best wishes.
Yours sincerely.

M. JANSEN
