Non-profit job available
Posted in 1995
I work for a non-profit group (Unison Institute) that supplies large government databases to the public for free through an Internet-accessible BBS. We have mainly provided EPA environmental databases, although we are also branching out into fair housing and loan red-lining data, as well as U.S. census data, etc. We are looking for a programmer to help write 4gl programs to let users access this data. Currently, we have about 20 Gb of data in an Informix Online system on a Unix machine. (Finding somebody with Unix and/or TCP/IP experience would also be nice). We are located in Washington, DC. Since we are a small organization, everyone does a range of duties outside their specialty. For this reason, we are looking for someone with a genuine interest in and experience in social issues (housing issues or environmental would be ideal). We want to find someone who wants to work at a place where they can really make a difference in terms of empowering the public to make their own decisions. Pay will be commensurate with experience, although as with any small non-profit it will be lower than in the private sector. If you are interested, you can E-mail your resume or any questions to me. If you want to check out what you'd be working on, you can telnet to rtk.net and log in as "public" (unfortunately, in order to access the SQL part of the machine you have to register for your own account, which is free but takes time.)
