RICE UNIVERSITY

The Department of Computer Science and the Center for Research on Parallel
Computation at Rice University expect to have a number of positions
available beginning in the academic year 1997-98 and invite applications
for faculty and research staff positions. We are interested in receiving
applications for appointments to the tenure-track faculty at the rank of
assistant professor (however, appointment as associate or full professor
will be considered for exceptionally well-qualified candidates); to the
research faculty, which may be at the rank of faculty fellow, senior
faculty fellow and distinguished faculty fellow (these are research
positions); and to the research staff as a research scientist or as a
postdoctoral research associate. We are especially interested in candidates
with research experience in artificial intelligence, algorithms and
complexity, compilers, computer graphics and geometric modeling, computer
systems, database management systems, networks, programming languages and
parallel computing. We will consider strong candidates in other areas as
well.

Applicants should hold a Ph.D. degree or the equivalent in computer science
or a related discipline or expect to complete such requirements prior to
assuming an appointment. Strong evidence of a commitment to excellence both
in research and teaching is required for a tenured or tenure-track
appointment. Preference will be given to early applications.

The Department of Computer Science offers four degrees: Bachelor of Arts,
Master of Computer Science, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy.
NSF Educational Infrastructure, Research Infrastructure and Science and
Technology Center grants, along with major grants and contracts from both
industrial organizations and government agencies, have enabled the
department to build a superb research facility, including parallel and
multiprocessor systems, a large network of engineering workstations, an
extensive local area network, a high-speed network test bed and access to
the scientific communities via NSF, NASA and Department of Energy
electronic networks. The Center for Research on Parallel Computation
supports several major research projects and provides access to massively
parallel computer systems located at several cooperating institutions. As
of this fall, the computer science department is to be relocated in the new
Computational Engineering Building, along with the departments of
Computational and Applied Mathematics, Statistics, and part of Electrical
and Computer Engineering.

Rice is a well-endowed private university with a strong reputation for
academic excellence, particularly in undergraduate teaching. It attracts
outstanding students nationally and internationally and provides a
stimulating environment for research, teaching and joint projects with
industry. Teaching loads are low to accommodate faculty research and
faculty salaries are competitive.
