I guess we won't know in two years. ;)
Re the job counting mismatch, note the specific wording of the jobs: TWO "real" jobs (Two Plasma Physicists) and then ONE Full Time Equivalent double-E, but that one FTE EE has to account for nine job slots. I bet they are hiring 9 EE interns part time to do the bench work.
