We are hiring a unix sysadmin, at Johns Hopkins University Sheridan
Libraries in Baltimore MD. We'd really like to find somebody good (who
wouldn't?), so please feel free to share this with anyone you know who
might be interested. We currently run RedHat and Solaris both (a piece
of information a potential applicant may be interested in, but which I
don't think is actually in the posting!).
