The Johns Hopkins University

Two tenure-track positions

The Department of Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University invites
applications for two anticipated tenure-track faculty positions of rank as
appropriate. For the first position, we seek candidates with experimental
research and teaching interests in networks and distributed systems,
including Internet and Web-based applications, distributed and mobile
computing, multimedia and network architectures. For the second position,
we seek individuals from a broader range of areas, including experimental
aspects of computer systems, security, programming language systems and
computer graphics. All applicants must have a Ph.D. in computer science or
a related field and are expected to have compiled an outstanding research
record. Commitment to quality teaching, and evidence of the ability and
willingness to develop a research program of the highest quality will be
required of all the candidates considered.

The Johns Hopkins University is a private university well-known for its
commitment to academic excellence. Accordingly, Hopkins attracts extremely
talented undergraduates and graduate students. The Department of Computer
Science stands amongst the first rank of departments at Hopkins in terms of
funded research activities and student involvement in educational programs.
This anticipated expansion is directed at further increasing national and
international recognition of our research and teaching programs.

Applicants with Internet access should have LaTeX, ASCII or Postscript
copies of a comprehensive curriculum vitae, a statement of future plans for
research and teaching, and at least three letters of reference sent via
e-mail to search@cs.jhu.edu; see also the Web page:
http://www.cs.jhu.edu/search. Applicants who do not have access to the
Internet should have their information sent to Faculty Search Committee,
Department of Computer Science, Room 224 New Engineering Building, Johns
Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21218-2694. Fax: 410-516-6134. To ensure
full consideration, complete applications should arrive by Feb. 1, 1997.

The Johns Hopkins University is an equal opportunity, affirmative action
employer.

Research and Development Professional

The Research Center of the Johns Hopkins University/Applied Physics Laboratory seeks an individual to conduct research and development in distributed information processing systems with a focus on distributed objects, heterogeneous systems integration, and intelligent systems.

This senior staff position in the Advanced Signal and Information Processing Group will:

• Provide research, development, and engineering support to APL departments in the construction of distributed information systems.
• Conduct basic and applied research in distributed systems and heterogeneous information systems integration.
• Establish and maintain funded research programs in computer and information science that focus on the development of technologies that facilitate intelligent information processing in complex systems.
• Publish results in peer-reviewed journals, present results at peer-reviewed conferences and actively participate in professional activities.

Qualified candidates should have a Ph.D. or equivalent in computer science and significant experience in the design and development of distributed processing systems, distributed objects, and systems integration gained through Ph.D. level research or work experience; ability to serve as principal architect of complex information processing systems using open systems standards; and proficiency in distributed objects, CORBA, object-oriented methodologies and C++.

U.S. citizenship required. Applicants selected may be subject to a security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information.

Desirable qualifications would include proficiency in Java, Lisp, CLOS, the X-Window System, Al techniques, database systems and open systems standards; engineering background and systems development experience; ability to serve as lead engineer for projects using object oriented methodologies and tools; demonstrated ability to procure funding; and experience integrating legacy systems and knowledge of intelligent agents.

APL is a private not-for-profit R&D laboratory located midway between Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, Md. We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including educational assistance and matching retirement plans. Salaries are commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Interested, qualified candidates should send a vitae and letter of interest to: Reid LaClair, Dept. 96-125, The Johns Hopkins University, Applied Physics Laboratory. Johns Hopkins Road, Laurel. MD 20723; FAX: (301 ) 953-6047; or e-mail (text format): Reid.LaCLair@ jhuapl.edu EOE, M/F/D/V
