[GLLUG] Level 13 Linux Administrator position available within IT Services at MSU

[Jeffrey Quinn]

Hello GLLUG!

My name is Jeff Quinn, and I'm the supervisor of the Virtualization, Storage and Systems team within the IT Services Infrastructure group at Michigan State University. I wanted to make you all aware that my team just had a posting go up for a level 13 Linux Administrator.

My team manages MSU's central storage, backup, virtualization and server administration offerings: We have several VMware clusters running a wide variety of both managed and self-managed services and applications, NetApp, EMC and IBM storage arrays that support these clusters (and more), and a Commvault implementation for backups. The Linux position that I'm trying to fill would help support our managed RHEL server offering.

If working in a team that plays an integral role in supporting the technical infrastructure and operations of the university sounds appealing to you, please apply.

Benefits and details about working at MSU can be found hr.msu.edu/supportstaff.htm<http://hr.msu.edu/supportstaff.htm> , and details about the job (which I will also post below) can be found by searching the support staff area within jobs.msu.edu<https://jobs.msu.edu/> for posting number 7107.

Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions you may have, and thank you for taking the time to read.
