Applications are invited for a three-year, tenure-track, renewable faculty
position at the level of assistant professor or a tenured position at the
level of associate or full professor in computer science commencing no
later than Sept. 1, 1997.

Outstanding applicants are sought in all areas of computer science.
However, preference will be given to candidates whose research is in
theoretical and analytical aspects of computer science and is motivated by
applications. Candidates are expected to have an outstanding research
record and a strong commitment to teaching. They must also have doctoral
degrees in computer science or closely related areas; junior candidates are
expected to have completed all the requirements for the doctoral degree by
no later than Sept. 1, 1997.

Successful applicants will find at Brown a stimulating environment
conducive to professional growth. Brown has a strong department with a
variety of interesting research projects in analysis of algorithms,
artificial intelligence, combinatorial optimization, computational
complexity, computational geometry, computer graphics, concurrent data
structures and architectures, database systems, graph drawing, logic
programming, operating systems, parallel computation, parallel and
distributed debugging, programming environments, programming languages, and
software engineering. The undergraduate and graduate students are
first-rate.

Applicants should send a resume and have at least three referees (five for
senior positions) send letters of recommendation to Professor John E.
Savage, Department of Computer Science, Brown University, Box 1910,
Providence, RI 02912. E-mail: faculty_search@cs.brown.edu.

consideration. Electronic submissions in Postscript are encouraged.

Brown University is an equal opportunity employer and strongly encourages
applications from women and members of other underrepresented groups.

Post-Doc


Postdoctoral Research Associate in Computer Science: We are looking for
someone with a doctorate in computer science to conduct focused research on
automated planning and scheduling. The position involves a one-year
appointment funded by a contract with the Advanced Research Projects Agency
and the Air Force. The research is concerned with automated planning and
scheduling, decision making under uncertainty, and learning domain models
from data. While the work has a strong theoretical component, it will also
require some C++ system building, a bit of html/Internet/Web programming,
and experimental work. Knowledge of stochastic processes, statistics and
probability, combinatorial optimization, theory of computing, and Bayesian
networks is a definite plus. Responsibilities include coordinating with
government agencies and working with graduate students and programmers.
 
Applications for this position must hold a PhD in CS or a related
discipline, or show evidence that the PhD will be completed before the
start of the position. Applicants should send a resume and have a least two
referees send letters of recommendation to Prof. Tom Dean, Department of
Computer Science, Brown University, Box 1910, Providence, RI 02912, USA,
tld@cs.brown.edu. Electronic submissions are encouraged. All materials must
be received by July 1, 1997 for full consideration.
