NEW YORK UNIVERSITY

Computer Science Department

The department expects to have several regular faculty positions
beginning in September 1997 and invites candidates at all levels. The
department is strengthening and broadening its existing systems research
and to this end is particularly interested in the areas of distributed
computing, networking, multimedia, operating systems, and security.
Faculty members are expected to develop an independent first-rate
research program.  In addition, they are expected to participate in the
departmental teaching activities at all level from the undergraduate to
the doctoral.

There may also be openings for regular joint positions with science
departments. Candidates for such positions are expected to combine
expertise and research interests from both computer science and a
another subject such as chemistry, biology, or medicine. The
department may also have one or more visiting positions in computer
science. Appointments for visiting positions can be for a period of
either one or two semesters.

The new appointees for regular positions will be offered competitive
salaries, competitive startup packages, and low-cost university housing
within short walking distance of the department.  New York University,
the largest private university in the world, is located in Greenwich
Village, one of the most attractive residential areas of Manhattan.

The department has 23 regular faculty members and a number of visiting,
adjunct and research faculty members. Current strengths of the department
lie in algorithms, artificial intelligence, compilers, computer graphics,
computer vision, databases, distributed and parallel computing, multimedia,
natural language processing, programming languages, and scientific
computing.  The department provides a general purpose state of the
art computing environment.  In addition, there are specialized
laboratories and research facilities for compiler optimization
and instruction level scheduling, computer graphics and multimedia,
computer vision, and parallel and distributed computing.

The department faculty obtain external funding at the level of
$6m per year. Among the funding sources are federal agencies such as
AFOSR, DARPA, DOE, NSF, and ONR; and industrial organizations
such as BellCore, IBM Research, Intel, Microsoft, HP and
SGI.  Collaborative research with industry is facilitated by the
geographic proximity to the main research centers of AT&T, BellCore,
IBM, Lucent, Matsushita, NEC, and Siemens.

Applications should include a resume, statement of career objectives,
names of references, at least three for junior positions and at least
five for senior positions; and key publications. Applicants are
encouraged to provide a URL for a page describing their activities. 
The evaluation of candidates for the positions is in progress.
Interested persons are encouraged to apply as all applicants will be
considered as long as the positions remain unfilled.
