UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO

Department of Computer Science

Applications are invited for three tenure-track assistant professor
positions in the Computer Science Department to begin fall 1997. Applicants
must have a doctorate in computer science or closely related field. The
department requires demonstrated research accomplishments as well as
commitment to teaching excellence at both graduate and undergraduate
levels. Applicants must have a strong background in experimental computer
science. The department recently received a five-year NSF Research
Infrastructure award to integrate current activities around computer
science issues fundamental to successful development of the National
Information Infrastructure. Individuals with research interests related to
this focus or other current departmental research programs are particularly
encouraged to apply.

The department has 17 faculty members, an increasing number of research
faculty and staff, and offers B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in computer
science. There is excellent access to computing facilities (high-end
workstations, IBM SP2, Intel Paragon) and fast networks (ATM, Myrinet) for
both research and instruction. Research funding (DARPA, NSF, ONR, LANL, SNL
and others) is very strong, approaching $5 million per year. Current
research programs focus on adaptive systems, automated reasoning,
computer-mediated communications, databases, experimental algorithms,
graphics and human-computer interaction, high-performance computing,
intelligent systems, security and visualization. The department maintains
close relationships with the Santa Fe Institute and the National
Laboratories at Sandia and Los Alamos. Joint work with Sandia recently
established a new supercomputing performance record. In addition, UNM is
the prime contractor for the Maui High-Performance Computing and
Visualization Center. For more details about the department, consult

Review of applications will begin Jan. 1, 1997, and will continue until the
positions are filled. Please send curriculum vitae, research statement and
names of at least three references to Professor James D. Hollan, Chair,
Computer Science Department, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM
87313.
