Hi. My group at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab at MIT has a sysadmin position available. This position is largely (but not exclusively) about end-user support, so it's a hybrid of help-desk and sysadmin. We're looking for someone with Linux, Mac, and Windows experience and good people skills. The job posting is at http://sh.webhire.com/servlet/av/jd?ai=631&ji=2686002&sn=I and it's requisition number mit-00009646 in case that link stops working for some reason. If you apply, please also drop my boss Jack Costanza a note at jackc at csail.mit.edu and let him know you did so (ideally with a copy of your resume), since it can sometimes take a while for applications to work through the pipeline and make their way to us. If you have any questions you can ask me or ask Jack directly. CSAIL is an amazing place to work. The environment is extremely varied, with lots of opportunities to learn new things. This position would be one of four front-line sysadmins. There are also two senior sysadmins and a network administrator, so it's a group where you'll always have somebody to run ideas by and troubleshoot with and teach and learn from. (And we support about a thousand Lab members, so the sysadmin-to-user ratio is... about what you'd expect from an environment where everybody gets root if they want it.) The job posting linked above strikes me as quite accurate. The departing sysadmin is particularly strong in Windows and Mac, and managed our backup system and had a lot to do with setting up end-user wiki installations, but we shuffle around responsibilities as needed. Looking forward, perhaps, to working with one of you, -Steve
