Real-Time Animation

The Department of Computer Science at North Carolina State University
seeks an assistant professor in the broad area of real-time animation,
including believable agents, behavioral animation, interactive animation,
and intelligent interfaces.  The successful candidate will have a PhD in
Computer Science and an extensive research record.

This new position has been created to further strengthen our activities in
intelligent learning technologies.  Our present activities and their
importance to the core mission of NCSU are
recognized at the highest levels within the university.  A number of
faculty have an interest in learning technologies and related areas.
Their work is supported by NSF, IBM, Fujitsu, the State of North Carolina,
and internal university funds.

The department is in a period of rapid growth and advancement, and is
positioning itself to be at the forefront of selected areas in computer
science.  In addition to funding from the local industry, we attract
research sponsorship from a variety of sources, including ARPA, AFOSR,
EPA, NASA, NIH, NSF and ONR.  The candidate will have access to our
state-of-the-art high-performance ATM-based networking, computational, and
multimedia facilities.  In December, the department's  Multimedia
Laboratory, with which the successful candidate will be
affiliated, will move to a 5,000 sq. ft. space in the new $41 million
Engineering Graduate Research Center.

The new faculty member will find a lively and collegial work environment.
Synergistic activities within the department include research into
animated intelligent agents, multiagent systems, knowledge-based learning
environments, quality of service issues related to network-centric
education and training, computer-human interaction, speech recognition,
and computational linguistics.  In addition, several multidisciplinary
initiatives that foster research on learning technologies are underway
between the Department of Computer Science and other NCSU departments.

The university is located in Raleigh which forms one vertex of the
world-renowned Research Triangle.  Research Triangle area was recently
recognized as one of the "best places to live in" in the U.S.  It boasts a
large concentration of high technology companies, such as Alcatel, Bell
Northern Research, Data General, Ericsson, Fujitsu, Glaxo-Wellcome, IBM,
and the SAS Institute, and research institutions such as EPA, NIEHS/NIH
and RTI.
