Open Faculty Positions
Applications are invited for three tenure-track assistant professorships
beginning September 2001. Appointments at other ranks will be considered
in exceptional cases. Qualifications required of all applicants include,
a PhD in Computer Science, a strong research record, and commitment to
teaching.
All research areas of Computer Science will be considered. Particular
attention will be given to candidates pursuing research in architecture,
databases, programming languages, networking, operating systems, and
security and applied cryptography.
Currently, the department consists of 16 faculty members, and offers
programs leading to BA, MA, and PhD degrees. In the past two years, the
department added six new faculty members whose research interests are in
the core areas of vision, databases, networking, operating systems, and
security. This adds to the department's established strength in analysis
of algorithms, complexity theory, fault-tolerant computing, image and
video computing, internetworking protocols and services, performance
evaluation, programming languages, real-time systems, and theory of
computation. In addition, our department maintains a close association
with other university groups working on various applied computing areas.
The department maintains a state-of-the-art computing environment that
includes hundreds of workstations, a number of dedicated multiprocessor
servers, and a number of specialized research laboratories. In addition,
the department has access to the university's supercomputing facilities,
high-speed campus networks, national vBNS, and I2 internetworking.
Recently, the university funded construction of new laboratories for
research in distributed 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 continuing this period of growth based on
our recent successes and the continued strong support of the University.
