This will be the only job I'll ever post. =) My boss is leaving to work for a private company, and his job is open now. http://www.asu.edu/hr/jobs/vacancies/vn/VN102761.html You can forget the background in physics and astronomy (it would be helpful in instances though), and definitely the C and fortran, because I've never seen my boss turn out more than 2 lines of code in either language, combined. We've got lots of various nixen...linux, a few bsds, a chunk of suns, a few indies, decs, etc etc. we're big into mac/nixen/win integration, nmc stuff w/snort and bb (our bb site: http://zeus.la.asu.edu/bb) *plus*, if you want a map of some galaxy 3 zillion light years away or whatever, we can do that, not to mention all the cool toys the physicists and astronomers have. =) thanks, marco
