Laboratory provides a standard salary, which
compensates for general housing and living expenses
for one person. At all other levels compensation

Portland:
Portland, the City of Roses, is located within
an hour drive between the beautiful Oregon coast
and the Cascades, a mountain range including
Mt. Hood, the highest peak in Oregon. Portland,
unlike most other US cities, has a fabulous
public transportation system, which connects
the suburbs to the downtown area in a very efficient
manner using a combination of lightrails and
buses. Furthermore, Portland is one of the most
bicycle friendly cities and in 2004 received
the Bicycle Friendly Community Award. Therefore,
Portland is a great city which can be enjoyed
even without a car.
