Organization: UCSF Center for Knowledge Management

The University of California, San Francisco, is actively seeking
applications for three positions in the Center for Knowledge Management
(CKM), an innovative new division created to serve as a campus focal
point for knowledge-based applications of information technology.  Two
positions are in the Innovative Software Systems Group (ISSG), whose aim
is the design and implementation of groundbreaking software systems, and
one is in the Computing and Communications Services Group (CCSG), which
provides all the computing and communications support for the UCSF
Library and the CKM.

		     DATA PRESENTATION ENGINEER (ISSG)

The ISSG is seeking a DATA PRESENTATION ENGINEER to design, implement
and test user-interface components to allow library users to access
multiple knowledge bases.  The DP engineer is responsible for developing
user-interface tools and applications to display on-line information
from a variety of knowledge bases and data sources.

Duties will include the identification of tools and/or resources
available for developing user-interface software and in conjunction with
other CKM and UCSF staff developing software to provide innovative and
easy-to-use interfaces for both the novice and expert user alike.

QUALIFICATIONS: The position requires demonstrated skills in the areas
of user-interfaces (e.g. OpenLook, Motif, InterViews), especially in the
domain of database applications; data structures, algorithms, structured
programming (preferably object-oriented) and operating system
constructs.  Special skills, knowledge and abilities will include
experience with C and C++ in a UNIX environment with the X Window System
(R5); knowledge of database management systems (e.g. Sybase).
Experience with network protocols (e.g. TCP/IP, OSI, RPC) is desirable.

			DATA ACCESS ENGINEER (ISSG)

The ISSG is seeking a DATA ACCESS ENGINEER to design, implement and test
software for on-line information access and retrieval.  The DA engineer
is responsible for designing, implementating and testing software to
perform access and retrieval from heterogeneous network databases and
other information repositories and the software must provide a standard
data access methodology to those sources.

Duties will include the identification of tools and/or resources
available for developing data access and retrieval software and in
conjunction with other CKM staff developing software to provide a
coherent and integrated view of multiple data sources.

QUALIFICATIONS: The position requires demonstrated skills in the areas
of database management systems, computer networks, data structures,
algorithms, structured programming (preferably object-oriented) and
operating system constructs.  Special skills, knowledge and abilities
will include experience with C and C++ in a UNIX environment with the X
Window System (R5); knowledge of user-interface development systems
(e.g.  OpenLook, Motif, InterViews); experience with commercial DBMS
products, especially SQL and DB design; knowledge and/or experience with
ANSI Z39.50 protocol.  Document processing (e.g.  SGML, Frame, [nt]roff,
TeX, Postscript) is desirable.

			SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR (CCSG)

The CCSG is seeking a SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR to test, maintain, install
and document system and application software, including software
developed at the Center, for computers running the UNIX operating
system.

QUALIFICATIONS: Knowledge of and experience with UNIX, Macintosh and
Novell system administration; electronic mail (SMTP, POP, UUCP) and
USENET; NIS, DNS, NFS protocols and implementations; networking (TCP/IP,
AppleTalk, IPX/Novell); systems programming in C for UNIX; shell, script
and Perl programming for system management; excellent verbal and written
communications skills.  Knowledge of Macintosh programming, particularly
with HyperCard/Talk, is highly desirable.

			       *********

The Center for Knowledge Management's multidisciplinary staff engages in
the engineering of knowledge bases and software tools for the health
sciences; develops education, training, and research programs for the
exploration and integration of electronic resources into the curriculum;
and supports the state-of-the-art systems and technological
infrastructure which underpin the development, maintenance, and use of
knowledge resources and information services.  The Center is located in
San Francisco, California on the UCSF campus.  The campus is located
approximately three blocks from Golden Gate Park near the Sunset
district.
