Technical Support Services
An excellent technical staff supports JILA's research and educational goals. Indeed, the close interaction between JILA's technical staff and research scientists, visitors, and students, is a hallmark of the institute.
The computing staff manages UNIX, Novell, and other servers, and supports a local area network of distributed workstations, PCs, terminals, and printers. The staff also provides consultations, training courses, and repair assistance. In addition, the staff supports network connections from offices, laboratories, and home computers to international computer networks and national supercomputer centers.
The electronics shop staff provides design, fabrication, and repair of specialized laboratory electronics, as well as consultation and training courses in electronics principles and techniques. The staff also maintains a pool of electronic test equipment that can be borrowed, and manages an electronics parts storeroom.
JILA's instrument shop staff designs and fabricates state-of-the-art experimental apparatuses and offers training courses in the use of shop equipment. The staff also provides expert fabrication and services for electron microscopy and optical coating. The W. M. Keck Optical Measurement Laboratory, a research and educational facility funded by the Keck Foundation, provides optical-measurement and optical-characterization instruments and expands JILA's optical- and nano-fabrication facilities.
The scientific reports office is responsible for announcement of JILA seminars, archiving of manuscripts and reports, assistance with presentation materials, classes in scientific writing, editing, general technical support with electronic submission and file conversions, the JILA website, maintenance of Fellows' CVs, production of the JILA brochure, reprint ordering and distribution, submission (both electronic and FedEx), support for Fellows' web pages, and word processing.
