MACINTOSH LAB TECHNICIAN

Department of Mathematics and Statistics
Simon Fraser University
Burnaby, B.C. CANADA

We plan to hire one or two people, working for a total of 25 to 30
hours/week, starting on 05 January 1993 and ending on 02 April 1993.

Job Description:

We are looking for people to maintain our networks of Macintosh computers,
and to provide support to the various Macintosh users in our department.
Some NeXT and IBM PC maintenance may also be involved as we expand our
facilities.

The Macintosh system maintenance involves various things, such as hard disk
management (deleting junk files, de-fragmenting files, re-formatting
hard-disks, fixing what users have messed-up, standardizing configurations,
font maintenance, icon maintenance, etc.), data recovery, diagnosing and
fixing crashes, repairing damaged systems and disks, hardware maintenance
and cleaning, simple hardware repairs, installation and configuration of
new software, system upgrading, testing new shareware programs, virus
protection, and fixing network and communications problems.

The user support would be for various people, from undergraduates and grad
students to staff and faculty.  Duties include getting new users started
with the Macintosh, helping users with software and hardware problems,
preparing user documentation, and monitoring the labs.

The employees will work under the direct supervision of the lab instructor
for computer-aided instruction.

Job requirements:

We are looking for people who regularly read the Macintosh newsgroups on
USENET, are familiar with downloading shareware and freeware from public
archive sites on the internet, and who generally keep current with what is
happening in terms of the latest Macintosh problems, fixes, bug reports,
software reviews, virus alerts, etc.

These people must be technically competent and have a thorough knowledge of
the details of Macintosh systems.  Also required are networking experience
(preferably with AppleShare), and experience with diagnosing and repairing
a variety of problems which can occur with floppy disks, hard disks, and
large multi-user networks.  It is also desirable to have experience with
Word, Excel, OzTeX, MiniTab, electronic mail, and UNIX access.  Experience
with RAM installation and hardware repairs would be a definite plus.  Some
NeXT and IBM PC experience would also be beneficial.
