The University of Central Florida (UCF) seeks applications for one tenure
track position in Computer Science at the level of Assistant Professor.
We are interested in all strong candidates who have demonstrated research
strength in the discipline and a commitment to teaching.  Post-doctoral or
industrial experience is desirable.

The University of Central Florida is a young, dynamic institution with a
student population of approximately 28,000.  The Computer Science
Department is one of the largest departments on campus offering the
Bachelor's, Master's and Ph.D. degrees.  It currently has 24 full-time
faculty, 700 undergraduate majors, and 150 graduate students.  Major
research areas within the department include computer vision, databases,
design and analysis of algorithms, computer graphics, digital media,
intelligent systems (including natural language processing, knowledge
representation and information retrieval), learning delivery systems
(including distance learning), networking technology, parallel and
distributed processing, programming languages, simulation, virtual reality,
software engineering, and very large-scale integration.

The University is located in Orlando, the center of Florida's strong
software development industry.  Our campus is adjacent to the Central
Florida Research Park which houses the Naval Training Systems Center, the
Army's Simulation, Training, and Instrument Command, and several industrial
organizations.  Computer Science faculty work closely with, and receive
substantial research support from, these groups and from the NASA Kennedy
Space Center which is located within 50 miles of the campus.  In addition,
the faculty are significantly involved in the Institute for Simulation and
Training, and the Center for Research and Education in Optics and Lasers.

Central Florida affords an excellent standard of living. Orlando ranks high
among the most livable cities and has a variety of attractions and
restaurants.  We have a good public school system, easy access to the
beaches and a climate that makes it possible to enjoy the outdoors all year
