ESnet is located at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (Berkeley Lab,
not to be confused with Lawrence Livermore National Lab--also a DoE
facility), which is a Department of Energy - Office of Science
Laboratory located in Berkeley (NOT Livermore), California.  It's just
up the hill from the UC Berkeley and his a spectacular view of San
Francisco, the SF Bay, and the Golden Gate.  As mentioned below,
although ESnet is physically located at LBNL, its job is to connect all
of the scientific National Labs via what is currently a 100G high-speed
data network.

It's a small but diverse group of highly-dedicated, highly-motivated
people, and we're seeking a FreeBSD sysadmin.  System-wise, we're mainly
a FreeBSD+Linux shop with a bit of Windows sprinkled in, only where
absolutely necessary.  Here's a description of the position we're
seeking.  If you're interested, point your web browser to lbl.gov and
