[huridocs-tech] Job announcement: Systems administrator (human rights/open source and free software)

Position available: systems administrator supporting human rights using
open source and free software

The Science and Human Rights Program of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science is seeking a open source systems administrator
("computer specialist III") to work with us on the application of
information management and statistics to human rights.

We're looking for someone who loves free software, wants to support human
rights, and is eager to travel some of the most difficult places in the
world.

You need to be very comfortable with GNU/Linux systems. In particular,
some of the skills you should have include a mastery of GNU/Linux
installations, boot loaders, and init scripts; a wide knowledge of system
demons; experience installing, configuring, and deploying free software
office & productivity applications; script experience (perl, Python,
shell); and at minimum, a working understanding of SQL, free software
implementations of SQL back ends (MySQL, PostgreSQL), and of rapid ways to
provide UIs to SQL systems (glade, PHP/HTML).

You also need to be willing to learn about human rights ideas, to be eager
to travel all over the world, to learn about other cultures, and to work
hard when you get there.

This job is located in Washington, DC -- telecommuting is NOT an option.
AAAS provides a non-smoking work environment. EOE, of course.

apply) at:
