The Marine Geospatial Ecology Lab in the Nicholas School of Environment and Earth Science at Duke University (http://margeo.env.duke.edu) seeks a creative, skilled and motivated Plone web developer with excellent system administration skills in a Linux environment. This team member will develop and maintain web sites and servers related to the lab’s scientific research. This full-time position is based in Durham, North Carolina.
We are currently working on several research projects with a strong web presence including: a geodatabase portal of marine mammal, seabird and sea turtle global observations; predictive habitat modeling of marine mammals and Naval spatial decision support system; global bycatch assessment of long-lived marine species; marine ecosystem-based management tools; and the Duke Center for Marine Conservation. Principal duties include: development and customization of Plone web sites, integration of 3rd party Plone products, LDAP and database administration, Linux server maintenance, backup support, source-code versioning and bug tracking, assistance with desktop tool deployment, and documentation of internal procedures as well as end-user functionality.
Minimum requirements are a bachelor’s degree or higher and experience in each of the following: web design and development (HTML, XML, CSS, XSL), software programming (e.g. Python, Java, PHP, Ruby, Javacript), database administration (e.g. SQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, LDAP), and Linux systems administration. Excellent communication skills are necessary. Ability and experience are additionally desirable with Zope or Plone development (e.g. page templates, archetypes, Python scripting) and IT support (e.g. OS installation, shell scripting, account management, backup services, web server configuration, source-code versioning and bug tracking). We would be pleased if the applicant had a background or at least interest in biology, ecology or conservation. Any experience with geographical information systems (GIS) or statistical and scientific programming (R, S+, Matlab) is also a plus. Above all, the ideal candidate will be willing and eager to adapt new and emerging technologies to scientific research issues.
Please send resumes to Lucie Hazen (ljhazen@duke.edu). You are welcome to direct technical questions to Ben Best (bbest@duke.edu) and those concerning management to Dr. Patrick N. Halpin (phalpin@duke.edu).
