McDonald Observatory Title: Programmer Analyst I The Department of Astronomy and McDonald Observatory have a VAX-11/780 running UNIX 4.1bsd. The system supports over a hundred users doing astronomical data reduction analysis and word processing. Peripherals include many disk and tape drives, pen plotter, graphics terminals, and image display stations. I am looking for some help! Specific tasks over the next year include: 1) upgrade from 4.1bsd to 4.2bsd (when it becomes available). 2) establish an Ethernet LAN initially consisting of the VAX, a SUN 150, a SUN 100, and a Multibus 8086/12 running a high-speed microdensitometer. Future expansion may include several DG Nova systems and a link to the University Ethernet system. 3) support image analysis and data processing on the network. We hack away at the operating system to make this as good an environment as possible within which to do Astronomy. 4) help me with the technical management of the net, once established. The job is a permanent McDonald Observatory Staff position, not dependent on government contracts. We work in Austin, but may have opportunities to travel to the Observatory in West Texas, as the technology we prove effective migrates out there. This is an evolving, growing system that will provide a fine opportunity for someone interested in applying state-of-the-art computing techniques to astronomical problems. Knowledge of UNIX and C required. Some experience with Ethernet, Graphics,and Workstations desirable, but not essential. We can figure this stuff out together. Salary: Call and find out! (Austin is such a great place to live, the University a fine environment, and we will have lots of fun tying all this stuff together!)
