Wow, I wish. That would be an awesome job. I'd love the travel part, too.

I'm even in I.T., but I'm sure I'm not what he's looking for. I'm a network engineer. I'm sure he needs someone more software side.

I don't think I could stand listening to that monotone computer all day.  One minute and I'm sick of it.

Funny Hawking story:  A friend's roommate at Oxford was hired as Dr. Hawking's physics assistant and when my friend asked Dr. Hawking if his friend was able to actually help someone as famous and expert as Dr. Hawking, the Dr. apparently replied that Rene (Raymond), the friend's roommate had the most boring ideas but unfortunately was always right.  What a funny and great compliment.

As you can see, my friend's roommate has gone on to do amazing things:  http://physics.uwaterloo.ca/people/raymond-laflamme

I love learning from smart, creative people who ask and ask and ask question and look for answers and come up with something phenomenally new - and such an approach is so at odds with the dogmatic approach of all religions that it seems crazy to waste even a second on any of them.

He would be awesome to work for I bet. You could learn a lot from him.
