The Physics/Astronomy/CITA Computing Consortium has an opening available for
a systems software programmer (level I) beginning in mid-August 1988.
[This position will also be posted through the usual Personnel channels,
but I felt this might be a more effective way of reaching interested people.]
The position is paid from budget (i.e. not grant-funded). Salary range is
$27,136 - 31,925 - 36,714. It is a full-time position.
Qualifications:
Education: B.Sc., preferably in Computer Science or Engineering
Experience: Two years' work experience in this field; UNIX familiarity
required as the Consortium is moving in this direction;
prior VMS experience an asset; solid knowledge of Fortran
essential, knowledge of C an asset
Other: Self-motivation and excellent organizational skills are
essential; must be adaptable and a quick learner in this
constantly evolving environment. Non-smoker preferred.
Interviews: from August 8, 1988, time to be arranged
Description:
Under general direction, assists the systems manager in daily operation
of the VAX/VMS and Sun/UNIX computer systems. Maintains the systems in the
manager's absence. Assists in the implementation, installation, testing,
documentation, and support functions with respect to operating systems
software, programming languages, and layered products. Assists in the
maintenance and update of the software, documentation, and some hardware.
Performs most of the system-related programming tasks on both UNIX and VMS.

Contact: Ruth Milner, Systems Manager
McLennan Physical Labs rm 803, x2746
Apply via the usual channels.
This is a busy position with excellent prospects for advancement within the
next 18 months for the right person. Supervision is minimal.
The system is used for research purposes only. It consists of one Sun 3/180,
one Sun 4/280, and about 10 diskless 3/50's, clients of the Sun 4. Three
Sun 4/110's are on order and should be installed by the time the position is
filled. Currently the majority of our user community (about 400 professors,
graduate students, and research associates) is still working on the VAXcluster:
a VAX 11/780 and 7 MicroVAX-II's. One of these MicroVAXes is owned and used
exclusively by the Physics Department administration, and we maintain the
system software. There is an Office Automation Programmer working in the
department to maintain their database and word processing software.
For more detailed information on the job description, please contact
me by e-mail, or by phone from August 8. You should also be able to get
the full job description from Personnel. I expect to see this position
appear with the U. of T. postings next week.
