Student Unix System Administrator Position in EE

The Nikola Project which supports the TIAL <HTTP://ssli.ee.washington.edu>, MELODI, and NTML <HTTP://ntml.ee.washington.edu> labs in the Electrical Engineering department is seeking a student System Administrator to assist with project work and daily maintenance of roughly 250 Un*x (Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD) and a few Win7 systems.

To qualify you must have some experience with Unix or Unix-like (Linux, Solaris, etc) operating systems. Excellent candidates will be willing to learn (a lot) quickly, and have a helpful attitude. Experience with IP networking a plus. Programming experience also a plus.

You do not need to be a CSE or EE major. System administration skills training will be provided with expectation of quick grasp of concepts and a willingness to be challenged. Hiring preference will be given to candidates who are already experienced with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (or related releases).

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

The position is open to full-time undergraduate students at the University of Washington. Work study is helpful but not required.

To apply, submit your resume (in text, postscript, or PDF only) to <studentsa@ssli.ee.washington.edu>. Please be sure to indicate how long you expect to be an undergraduate student at the University of Washington. Application is open until filled.
