The Transportation Department's Office of Inspector General is looking for a CIO.

In a June 6 job posting, officials ask experienced technology leaders to send in their resumes but say they will only review the first 100 they receive.

The new CIO will manage hardware, software, security and strategic planning for all things technology in the IG's office.

The salary range is $128,082 to $160,300. Successful applicants must be able to obtain a top secret security clearance.

The position is opening up because current CIO Jason Carroll will soon be leaving for another agency, a spokeswoman told FCW. She declined to name the agency, and Carroll did not respond to a request for comment.

DOT officials plan to accept applications through June 20 or until they receive 100 applications, whichever comes first.
