Hi - Jerry Feldman said this is the e-mail address to send these things to.  My office is hiring a Network Admin / Engineer for the Chandra Operations Control Center here in Cambridge.  Though it is a Network Admin position, there are some Linux Sys Admin skills needed, and we are primarily a CentOS shop.  Below is the ad recently posted on the Craigslist with a good job description and a link to apply at USAJobs, as that is the only place someone can apply for this position.  Let me know if approved for the list or if not appropriate / not complete.

Thanks,
Brandon Vogel
