Physics Tools Groups Task List Colors indicate required level of experience: green: Student/young post-doc, blue: experienced post-doc, red: senior, purple: technically competent (any age) * FTEs are approximate because the actual number will be estimated at the end of the term depending on the actual involvement. Numbers are nominally annual units.
