LABORATORY COORDINATOR
Department of Computational Science
University of Saskatchewan
A Laboratory Coordintator is required by the Department of
Computational Science. The holder of this position will be
responsible primarily for providing day-to-day operational
and software support for instructional and research
laboratories within the Department. In the short term,
these responsibilities will pertain to a major undergraduate
micro computer laboratory known as the Maclab as well as a
number of high quality engineering workstations attached to
the Advanced Computing Laboratory. The Maclab is an
AppleTalk local area network consisting of 40 student
workstations, two MacJanet file servers and shared printers.
The high quality workstations are connected to a shared file
server via a local area Ethernet. These specific
responsibilities will change as the laboratories themselves
evolve.
Operational tasks will include starting and stopping the
systems, performing backups, and installing and configuring
system software. Software support tasks will include
installing acquired software packages and developing utility
programs to meet local requirements. Local programs will
focus on instructional application. Administrative
responsibilities will include participation in the
Department's Facilities Committee's efforts to plan for and
implement new facilities for the laboratories. Secondary
responsibilities relating to hardware will include
overseeing maintenance of the facilities (initial problem
diagnosis, shipment of the machinery to the hardware service
organization, and reinstalling repaired machines) and
miscellaneous interconnection of components, including
asynchronous serial devices, Ethernet devices, and so on.
The successful applicant for this position will hold a
Master of Science degree in Computational Science or
equivalent and will have considerable knowledge of and
practical experience with the UNIX Operating System, the
Macintosh computer, the C programming language, AppleTalk
and Ethernet. Experience with the use of computer networks
in academic settings is highly desirable. Salary will be
commensurate with qualifications and experience.
Applications should be forwarded as soon as possible to
David Bocking, Computer Facilities Manager, Department of
Computational Science, Room 1C101 Engineering Building,
University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, S7N 0W0. Email:

And your systems programmers must hold a PhD, right? I'm scared
to ask what sort of qualifications the hardware guys need :-)
