Faculty  Positions
Department of Computer & Information Sciences
Temple University

The  Department of Computer & Information Sciences  has  one visiting
position beginning August 1996,  and  one  tenure-track  position
beginning in August 1997  in  the area of Information  Systems.  Ideally,
the faculty  member  filling the  visiting position would have those
qualities that would make him/her eligible for consideration for the
tenure-track position beginning in Fall 1997.

Applicants should hold the Ph.D. in Information Systems or a closely-
related field.  The ability to contribute to  strong instructional
programs,   both   at   the   graduate   and undergraduate  level,
while  contributing  to   a   growing research program, will be the
primary basis for selection of candidates.   Salary  and rank will  be
determined  by  the appointee's  experience.  While applicants at the
Assistant Professor level are preferred and should present evidence
of research potential, applicants for a senior position may  be considered
and  should have a strong  record  of  scholarly achievement.

The  Department offers programs leading to the Bachelors and Masters
degrees in Information Systems through the School of Business & Management
and in Computer Science through  the College of Arts & Sciences.  The newly
restructured Ph.D. in Computer & Information   Sciences   provides  exciting
opportunities for faculty to participate in a  truly  multidisciplinary
program. Doctoral students with  masters-level background  in  information
systems  or  computer  science customize  their  advanced curriculum in
consultation  with their  dissertation committee.  The Ph.D. has three
tracks: Information   Systems,  Software  Systems,  and   Artificial Intel-
ligence.  Candidates  should  have  a  strong   applied knowledge  of  tech-
nology  along  with  a   background   in information systems development so
that they can  contribute to multiple tracks.

Currently,  the  department has a full-time faculty  of  20; there are 136
graduate students enrolled in the masters and doctoral programs, and 358
undergraduate majors.  Faculty members  have  access to excellent technical
resources.  All offices  are  equipped with a choice of computing  equipment
including  dedicated local and wide area  connectivity.  The department
provides Pentium-based PC, Sun, and  Dec  Alpha-based  labs to students. The
university also provides public access  labs  all  across campus and  is
currently  in  the process  of  investing significant resources into
computing and networking.
