AmesMUG: Music Hall Job

[david l goodrich]

Hi, all.  I was at the meeting on Thursday to talk briefly about
a job opening at Music Hall.  Here's a little more detail:

I'm currently the head of IT in the ISU Department of Music, but
I'm graduating in December and I need a replacement. Currently I
maintain the all-Mac lab and server and oversee IT in general.
This is a part-time position and has traditionally been filled by
students, but the latter is not a requirement. I'm working about
15 hours a week, but I'm also doing the job of webmaster, some
faculty support, and some lab monitoring.  My predecessor got
away with 5-10 hours/week doing just the lab administration
piece.  Pay is negotiable based on experience.

                                                     
There are supposed to be a couple other folks working IT for the
Music department -- one for general faculty support staff support
and a webmaster -- all part-time positions as well. The webmaster
position is currently vacant, though.  As head IT person you
would not be directly in charge of these people, but you be
expected to keep everyone coordinated technology-wise, and to
make general recommendations for equipment purchases and the
like.  The main lab (21 machines and an xServe) email lab (4
older machines) and the Electronic Music Studio (1 machine) are
all tied into a reasonably complicated setup with
automatically-created network home directories, license servers,
and work-arounds for software that doesn't like labs or network
disks. As the labs are student-fees funded they must be publicly
available and thus are tied into LDAP/kerberos with automatic
homedir creation. The main server is running OS X, but there's a
lot of unix stuff happening so GUI-only skills won't cut it.
Given the complexity of the setup and the lack of a full-time IT
person I'm hoping to find someone with experience as a UNIX
admin. I  understand that's a tall order for a part-time
position, so I'm willing to consider people without such
experience, but it's definitely preferable. At the very least
you'll need to be familiar with administration and UNIX
principles and basic shell programming.  Ideally you'd be around
in Ames until at least 2009, but again that's not a requirement.


The position is available as early as now, and since I'll be
graduating in December it would be nice to bring you up to speed
a bit before I leave.  If you're interested please send me an
email that includes contact information and your resume.
    Thanks much,                                                              
    David Goodrich
