Hello, We have two openings for system administrators here in the Computer Science Lab at SRI International in Menlo Park, CA. We use FreeBSD for our file servers and other network applications, so a fair amount of time is spent keeping up with FreeBSD. Here's a description: -------- We have two positions available. One is to replace me in running our lab's computer facility. This is a senior position and requires a fair amount of experience and a computer-related 4-year degree. The other is a junior position and requires some experience, a degree not being required but candidates with one will be at an advantage. The degree requirement is mainly because this is a research lab with a lot of PhDs around and probably someone with a degree will have more credibility and feel more comfortable. I'm not leaving here, I'm just going back into project work. I'd be available for the time being to help anyone we hired. Here's a description for the junior position that I posted on the net a while back: ---------------------------------------- Location: SRI International, Menlo Park CA Position: Systems Administrator We are looking for someone to assist me [actually the senior administrator] to administer our group of Sun workstations and PCs. Our group is called the Computer Science lab and consists of about 40 people and 50+ machines. Most of the lab's research work is done in the areas of formal methods, networking, and computer security. Applicants should be familiar with UNIX administration including networking, software installation and troubleshooting and comfortable with PC hardware. Some programming experience is also desired, especially with scripting languages such as Perl. We would like someone with an undergraduate degree (BS) in computer science or a related field and 1 year in system administration or computer operations. ---------------------------------------- To give a little more detail on the environment, we're mostly SunOS 4 on the desktop, with a growing number of Solaris boxes being used for one thing and another. We use FreeBSD boxes as servers. I've decided to standardize on FreeBSD here because it seems solid and because I can build reasonably good servers cheaply. There are some linux boxes (because they run Allegro Common Lisp). We've also got a few Windows 95/NT boxes around---this will probably increase over time whether I like it or not. There are a couple of `rogue' Macs around as well. The lab is low-key but varied. It's very much a research environment, not a commercial environment. People work all the time but things are stable enough that I hardly ever get called outside of my normal hours. There's a strong user-support element in the job. The people here are polite but there are a lot of smart people with their own ideas and part of the job is to deal positively with the opinions of the rest of the staff regarding how the computer facility should be organized and run. -------- If interested, please send me your resume. -- Fred Gilham System Administrator Computer Science Lab, SRI International gilham@csl.sri.com
