The fine follks over at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital are looking for a designer/developer to join their 5-person Intranet team. This year, they will be redesigning their employee intranet and moving from a static website to a role-based portal. They will also be implementing a new CMS to run the show.So if you’re an experienced designer/developer with good information architecture skills (an ar comfortable working in a Microsoft shop) who is interested in leading a team (not just coding alone in the dark), give them a shout.

The fine folks over at Odeo are looking for an “AJAX Engineer” to round out their web dev team. If you live & breathe JavaScript, CSS, XHTML and live in or around San Francisco, drop them a line (jobs [at] odeo [dot] com). Everyone I know that works there seems to love it, making me wish I lived a little closer to SF.

My friends at Gartner are hiring a new member for their web team. If you are within commuting distance of Stamford, CT (about 45 minutes outside of NYC by train), I highly recommend considering this job as I know first-hand how awesome this team is to work with.

You’ll need the following areas of knowledge (in addition to a thirst for more):

• The big 3: XHTML, JavaScript and CSS including browser compatibility issues and working with complex CSS (some of which is courtesy of yours truly)
• XML & XSLT (specifically in converting XML to XHTML)
• Some PHP/MySQL
• RSS
• web graphics (at least enough to translate from comp to code)
• Teamsite templating (not necessary, but would be an advantage)

If you’re interested, email my friend Aidan (aidan [dot] brewer [at] gartner [dot] com) and let him know I sent you.

I’ve been informed of a great position in southern Connecticut for a strong standards designer/developer. The full-time position is at dLife.com, a site whose primary focus is providing information and support to individuals and families touched by diabetes. The parent company, LifeMed Media, is forming a formidable web team and are planning some great new material for this 11,000+ page site. There’s lots of content to play with and a heavy focus on standards. If you’ve got mad CSS skills and a penchant for semantic markup, this may be up your alley. As the site’s focus is the diabetic community (and diabetes can affect your vision), accessibility knowledge is also a good skill to bring to the table.
