Applications are invited for four tenure-track assistant professorships beginning September 1999. Qualifications required of all applicants include, a PhD in Computer Science, a strong research record, and commitment to teaching.

The department has a special interest in candidates pursuing experimental computer science research, including: networking, operating systems, distributed systems, scalability, reliability and security of networked systems, databases, information retrieval and visualization, and computer graphics.

Currently, the Computer Science Department consists of 12 faculty, and offers BA, MA, and PhD programs. Our research interests include parallel, distributed, and real-time systems; networks; performance evaluation; image and video computing; logic of computation; and theoretical computer science. In addition, we have a close association with other groups on campus working on various areas of applied computing.

The Department has excellent computing resources which include PC's, Sun and SGI workstations, as well as Sun and SGI multiprocessor servers. In addition, the department has access to the university supercomputing facilities, high-speed campus networks, and national vBNS and I2 internetworking. Recently, the College funded construction of a new computer science research lab for research in distributed systems, real-time systems, networks, and graphics. The department has been the recent recipient of significant government and industry grants for research, research infrastructure and for graduate student support. We anticipate a sustained period of strong growth based on our recent successes.
