Technical Coordinator, Center for English Language and Orientation
Programs, Boston University.
There's an interesting and challenging position opening up providing
technical support for faculty, staff, and students in this large
intensive English program (ESL). CELOP is a friendly and exciting
place with students from 50 countries.
This position (IS/IT, Grade 53) offers many opportunities for skill
expansion and working on the cutting edge of educational technology
in support of language learning (CALL). In addition to providing
support, primarily to Mac clients, the Technical Coordinator
maintains several file, database (FileMaker), and lab authentication/
document servers (all Mac OS X), manages security and backups for
faculty and staff, assists faculty and students using the computer
language labs and smart classrooms, helps maintain a large website
using a variety of technologies, researches hardware, software, and A/
V equipment for purchase, and generally provides support for the
implementation of technology program-wide.
The Technical Coordinator should be able to learn new technologies on
his or her own, as needed, work independently, keep track of support
and project work with little supervision, and work closely with ESL
students, teachers, and program staff. While no teaching experience
is required, experience being a language learner and living abroad
would be helpful.
For the complete job description, requirements, and benefits
associated with this position, please refer to Boston University's
official position posting. (Posting in late June.)
