Google Inc., with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission said to be preparing an investigation of its dominant position in the Internet search industry, is seeking to hire an antitrust lawyer, according to an online job posting.

An advertisement yesterday on Linkedin Corp.’s networking website said it seeks a new lawyer to join Google’s competition team based at the company’s Mountain View, California headquarters. The person will work with Google’s in-house and outside antitrust lawyers on issues “related to planned products or services” as well as “represent Google in regulatory proceedings at the state, federal and international levels,” according to the posting.
