MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY

Department of Computer Science

Assistant and Associate Professors

The Department of Computer Science invites applications for four
anticipated tenure-stream positions: three at the assistant professor level
(position numbers ENG 128, ENG 143, ENG 004) and one at the associate
professor level (position number ENG 186). Candidates from all areas of
specialization in computer science or computer engineering will be
considered. However, for the assistant professor positions, the department
has a special interest in candidates in the areas of software engineering,
computer graphics and visualization, robotics, database, programming
languages, compilers, and theory. The research foci of the department
include artificial intelligence and knowledge-based systems, computer
architecture and design automation, high speed networks and performance,
parallel and distributed computing systems and algorithms, pattern
recognition and image processing, database systems, analysis of algorithms
and theory of computation, and software engineering. Candidates should have
a Ph.D. in computer science or computer engineering and have a strong
interest in both research and teaching. The appointments will begin in
August 1997. For full consideration, applications should be submitted by
January 10, 1997. However, applications will be accepted until the
positions are filled.

As a unit within the College of Engineering at Michigan State University,
the Department of Computer Science offers the Bachelor of Science, Master
of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. It also jointly administers a
Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering with the Electrical
Engineering Department. The department has received extensive funding for
support of its instructional and research activities from a broad spectrum
of companies and government agencies, local and national. The Department
currently has 23 tenure-stream faculty, and an enrollment of approximately
140 graduate students and 400 undergraduates. Special support is available
from within the college and university to initiate research by new faculty
members. Faculty offices and laboratories are connected to the MSUnet,
which provides access to an array of campus computing resources including
the facilities of the College of Engineering, the Department's Pattern
Recognition and Image Processing Laboratory, Intelligent Systems
Laboratory, High Speed Network and Performance Laboratory, Multimedia
Laboratory, and Advanced Computing Systems Laboratory. The computing
facilities in the Department includes more than 200 high-end workstations,
two workstation clusters interconnected by high-speed networks, and other
specialized research equipment.

Michigan State University enjoys a park-like campus of 2,100 developed
acres and 3,100 acres of outlying research facilities and natural areas.
The campus is adjacent to the cities of East Lansing and the capital city,
Lansing. The Greater Lansing area has approximately 250,000 residents. The
communities have excellent school systems and place a high value on
education.

Applicants should send a letter of intent, resume, the names of three
references, and a statement of research and teaching interests to:
