Comment Re:Raytheon (Score 1) 226

I was a systems admin down there for a season. RPSC (Raytheon Polar Services Co.) is the current contractor for USAP (United States Antarctic Program) support services, though that may change this year. They're always hiring IT folks for the station and the ships that do research down there, though the main push is during late-spring and late-fall to get people for the next season. There's also a poorly-publicized job fair at RPSC headquarters in Centennial, CO every spring.

  You can see what's available at http://rayjobs.com./ Just select "Antarctica-Polar Services" in the "Featured Location(s)" box; leave everything else blank. Most jobs will come up with a location in Centennial, however if they ask for a primary and alternate, the job is actually on station.

Good luck. It's a lot of fun and craziness.

Antarctica Needs a Network Engineer 226

littlekorea writes "It's a little underpaid, but network engineers with a fetish for very cold weather might be interested to know that the Australian Government's Antarctic Division is seeking network engineers to manage its telephony, satellite and radio comms in Antarctica. According to the job FAQ, summer temperatures aren't a lot colder than your average data centre. But winters of -30 degrees celsius (-22 Fahrenheit) might make the morning jog a little challenging."
