Administrators will be responsible for backups, software patching, preventive maintenance, physical infrastructure, developer support, and application configuration. Ideally a candidate will have at least a basic understanding of Linux and Windows server operating systems, shell scripting, computer hardware, and networking. This is an entry-level position where a drive for knowledge and success can be more important then prior experience.
Other Openings
Other students who may not have specific expertise in the above areas, but who are interested in CATT Lab research areas are also strongly encouraged to apply. The above skills are only suggestions; therefore, any applicant who is willing to learn will be strongly considered for these and other available positions. For those interested only in research experience, there may be additional opportunities for volunteer work and/or course credit options. The CATT Lab offers many opportunities to work with real-world systems that will have a tremendous impact on transportation and other systems.
