Nikola labs now seeking second Student System Administrator

The Nikola Project which supports the SSLI <HTTP://ssli.ee.washington.edu>

System Administrator to join a team of people performing project work and
daily maintenance of roughly 250 Unix (Linux, Solaris, OS X,

To qualify you must have some experience with computers and computer
operating systems. Excellent candidates will have experience with Unix or
Linux, be willing to learn (a lot - quickly), and have a helpful attitude.

releases).

This is a long-term position hopefully lasting two to three (or more) years.
You must be available to work at least 12 hours per week, preferably more.
Work times are mostly flexible. The job is year round, including full time
during the Summer and term breaks.

Work study is helpful but not required.

student at the University of Washington.
