The Computer Science Department of Boston University invites applications for several GAANN doctoral fellowships, to begin full-time study during the 1999/00 academic year. These fellowships provide tuition, stipend, and allowances for incoming graduate students who plan teaching or research careers in the broad area of computing systems.

The Computer Science Department at Boston University has active research groups in the following research areas: high performance computing and communication, digital multimedia computing, real-time systems, parallel and distributed systems, fault-tolerant computing, and expert systems. Prospective graduate students interested in one of these fields are encouraged to apply.

The GAANN doctoral fellowships are granted by the US Department of Education, and aim to recruit talented U.S. citizens and permanent residents with strong academic records in computer science. Students from groups traditionally underrepresented in computer science (women and minorities) are particularly encouraged to apply.

Applicants for the 1999-00 academic calendar are urged to submit their application before January 15, 1999. For application materials, please contact the department's office at:
