There is the key though. I'm an engineer, not a salesman. I don't mind negotiations, they are good. What is bad is when one party isn't willing to give what is necessary to get what they want. I should know what my skills are worth, what I can do, and how well I can do it. That way I don't waste mine and someone else's time with applying for jobs I'm not qualified for.
That is not to say that these DOE listings are willing to pay what is necessary, but it gives the impression of not listing a price means they can be vague about things that should be upfront about. I agree with Victor, the pay is a big determining factor, don't dodge it or be ambiguous.
