Job Opportunity: Linux/OS X/Windows admin at the Medical College of Wisconsin

[Alex Waite]

Hello Everyone,
I will be moving to Germany soon, and thus my current job will be 
available shortly.  To be honest, this is the best job I've ever had.  
The pay is great, benefits are better, and the researchers I support are 
easy to get along with.  Overall, it is a great work environment, and I 
recommend it highly.  This is an IT generalist role, so the duties range 
across workstation support, server administration, basic web 
development, scripting, and Debian packaging.  Ultimately the position 
is what you make of it.  There is a lot of independence, and it is up to 
you to come up with solutions and implement them.

Though the position title is for an IS Manager, the position does not 
oversee other employees.  The position is classified as a manager to 
ensure good pay.

The position is as a Linux/OS X/Windows administrator at the Medical 
College of Wisconsin in the Neurology department.  I have included the 
job listing below.  If you are interested, please send your resume and 
available start date to awaite /at/ mcw /dot/ edu.  If you have any 
questions, please feel free to ask.
