Director

摘要

The Comite International des Poids et Mesures (CIPM) invites applications for the post of Director of the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM), which will fall vacant in the first half of 2014 on the retirement of the present Director, Prof. Dr. M. Kuhne. The successful candidate will be engaged initially as Deputy Director (Director designate) and it is expected that he or she will take up the post of Deputy Director/Director designate in the first quarter of 2013. The BIPM is the scientific and administrative centre of the Intergovernmental Organization of the Metre Convention. It operates under the authority of the CIPM, which itself is under the authority of the Conference Generale des Poids et Mesures (CGPM) currently composed of fifty-five Member States of the BIPM. The BIPM's scientific and administrative work has as its aim the assurance of a stable and reliable worldwide measurement system based on the International System of Units (SI). To achieve this, the BIPM works in close collaboration with the National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) of its Member States and liaises with other intergovernmental organizations and international bodies with an interest in reliable measurements as well as with the NMIs of the Associates of the CGPM. The BiPM operates a world-class scientific laboratory charged with the realization and comparison of measurement standards in the fields of mass, time/frequency, electricity, ionizing radiation and chemistry. The BIPM is also responsible for the implementation and maintenance of the Mutual Recognition Arrangement of national measurement standards and of calibration and measurement certificates issued by National Metrology Institutes (CIPM MRA). The CIPM MRA includes calibration and measurement capabilities in all fields of measurement and is executed in close cooperation with the Regional Metrology Organizations (RMOs).
