Announcing 2 Univ. of New Mexico IT job postings (fwd)

[Barb Rosen]

Dear colleagues,

The purpose of this note is to inform you of two information technology 
jobs that are now available in my department, Library Information 
Technology    (LIT) at the University of New Mexico General Library in 
Albuquerque, NM. Key areas of work include development of software, 
database and database-to-web services, system administration (including 
security) across multiple OS platforms (AIX, Linux, WinNT/2000). We are the 
IT organization for the leading academic research library in New Mexico 
and, as such, provide a large and growing number of online services to our 
communities and to other institutions in the state.

In order to attract the widest possible pool of applicants, we are 
advertising the positions at 3 levels, Analyst/Programmer I, II and III. We 
have the option to hire each position at any of those levels, depending 
upon qualifications and experience.

For those of you in the private sector, it's worthwhile to highlight 
differences between it and the university setting. There is a great deal of 
flexibility about work schedules and a much greater amount of vacation 
allowed (4 weeks/yr.) from the beginning, plus a paid holiday break from 
Christmas through New Year's. In addition, sick leave (96 hrs./yr.) applies 
to caring for your family as well as yourself. Education and training is 
supported with both money and released time. The work atmosphere is very 
informal and the work is often at the cutting edge of implementing new 
services and technologies.

The benefit package is especially attractive compared to most private 
employment, including paid tuition for dependents, education for spouses 
and domestic partners, health, dental, disability, life & other insurance 
options, pension _and_ 403b (equiv. to 401k) retirement plans. Benefits for 
spouses and dependents are generally paid at the same percentages as those 
for employees.

The postings are available online at these URLS:

Analyst/programmer I: <http://www.unm.edu/~hrnet/jobs/m32211.htm>
Analyst/programmer II: <http://www.unm.edu/~hrnet/jobs/m32212.htm>
Analyst/programmer III: <http://www.unm.edu/~hrnet/jobs/m32213.htm>

Applications are being accepted until February 4, 2002.

UNM is a big place, with the attendant administrative complexity. DO NOT 
try to apply by responding to this e-mail. It is very important that you 
follow UNM's application process and apply _separately_ for each level for 
which you wish to be considered. For information, see "How to Apply for UNM 
Staff Jobs" <http://www.unm.edu/~employ/pages/reginst.htm>. You ought to 
read "How to Interpret a UNM Job Vacancy Announcement" 
<http://www.unm.edu/~employ/pages/interprt.htm>.

As the postings mention, do feel free to contact me with questions 
regarding the postings.

Thanks for your attention.
