There are job openings in the High Energy Physics group for a
students as sysadmins. We are looking at all levels of experience.
We have a lot of computers running a quickly-growing research
group:
- Around two dozen workstations
- Mostly Dells, a smattering of Alphas and Sparcs
- Mostly RedHat, some Debian, a few NT/9x
- Servers include several UltraSparcs/Solaris
- and OpenBSD firewalls
- A compute farm (Beowulf-ish cluster)
- Multi-terabyte disk array
- A lot of ethernet
- NIS+, sendmail, apache, php
Our long-range projects include deploying AFS or encryped NFS
v4, Kerberos, RAID systems, ethernet switches, and firewalls.
Ideally we like someone with considerable knowledge, experience,
and clue -- but heck, wouldn't we all. Such people are rather hard to
find. So....
You *don't* need to know a huge amount. You don't need to have
worked on all of this hardware or all these operating systems. You do need
to have considerable experience with GNU/Linux, but more importantly, the
humility to realize that you may not know everything (ha ha!), and the
ability and interest to learn. There are several "systems administrators",
but we are all physics graduate and undergraduate students, and we really
need to work on our research. We are an unusually clueful group, and we
can teach you a lot, but we just need to transition from doing it all
ourselves.
The professors are really cool, too. Roy Schwitters, Karol Lang,
Sascha Kopp, and Jack Ritchie are doing cutting-edge research, and they
are nice guys to work for. They understand flexible schedules around
academics, but they in turn demand that you show intelligence and
determination in solving problems. Heck, if you want to do physics
research, this is also the place to work. Physicists and engineers are
welcome to look at our opportunities.
Why should you come work for us? If you're very experienced, you
will have considerable say in how the network is administered and evolves.
If not, you're in a fantastic place to learn, with clueful administrators
carrying the initial responsibility. But you'll need to be someone who can
learn quickly. Either way, the hours are extremely flexible, and the
professors are great.
If you're at all interested, shoot me an email. Tell me a little
about yourself, your background and experience. Send me a copy of your
resume: PDF, PostScript, DVI, LaTeX, HTML, and plain text are all fine;
M$Word will get you rejected immediately. Then we'll arrange an interview
and show you around our labs (10th floor RLM and downstairs ENS).
Thanks,
