FOPI is a nuclear and hadron physics experiment at the GSI SIS/ESR
accelerator facility in Darmstadt, Germany. Employing charge particle
tracking in a magnetic field, the chief goal of FOPI is to understand
highly excited hadronic matter. At such densities, it has been predicted
that one of the fundamental QCD symmetries, the chiral symmetry,
will be visible in hadron properties that are expected to be
different from the vacuum behaviour inside dense hadronic matter.
To accomplish this goal, the FOPI Collaboration is upgrading its apparatus.
One of the major efforts in this endeavor is to replace the existing
data acquisition system. A second task is to implement a state-of-the-art
time of flight system (RPC counters). Candidates interested in obtaining
