The Network for Student Information (NSI) at Stanford University is seeking
qualified applicants for a senior-level technical position which may be of
interest to the SPIRES Consortium membership.

ABOUT NSI:  NSI manages a large, highly complex, and integrated set of
databases which store authoritative University information on students
(registration, classes, financial aid, student accounting, housing, fees,
etc), courses, instructors, and applicants for admission.  NSI maintains a
wide variety of applications, including applications used directly by
University administrative personnel as well as students themselves (to
access their own records online).  NSI serves a diverse student services
community consisting of both centralized units (Registrar's Office,
Admissions Office, Bursar's Office, Financial Aids Office, etc) and
decentralized units (academic schools and departments).

NSI systems are implemented primarily in SPIRES.  These systems will be
migrated to relational DBMS and client/server technologies over the next
3-7 years.

DUTIES:  The position opening is for a Programmer/Analyst III/IV.  The
major duties of this position are:

- analyzing complex information management needs of both central student
  services offices and schools and departments

- working with clients to design efficient and effective work flows

- designing, implementing and maintaining information systems to support
  these work flows

REQUIREMENTS:  Experience as a programmer/analyst is required - at least
three years at the III level, at least seven years at the IV level.  At the
IV level this position requires the technical and organizational skills to
lead highly complex systems development efforts.  Other requirements are:

- strong analytical skill

- skill in determining user requirements

- significant experience programming in complex, real-time database
environments

- ability to manage multiple concurrent projects

- excellent written and oral communication skills.

Other desired skills include:
