Systems Administrator

You: An inspired sysadmin who has always felt constrained by the title.
Us: Thayer School of Engineering IT Department; so collaborative that we built this job description together.

What We Do

Provide crazy good technology service (see computing.thayer.dartmouth.edu).

Thayer School has a unique multidisciplinary approach to engineering education and our IT philosophy reflects this. Rather than just being back-room "crank turners", our Computing Services team interacts extensively with faculty, students, staff, and researchers. We go out of our way to spend time with our users, deliberately encouraging community members (often with cookies) to ask questions, explain their needs, and brainstorm solutions.

We work hard to solve problems, implement solutions, and allow Thayer School to make the fullest use of computing technology. We are driven and love a challenge.
