UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS, AMHERST

Department of Computer Science

The Department of Computer Science has several openings for tenure-track
faculty positions at the assistant professor level. Applicants must have a
Ph.D. in Computer Science or related area and
should show evidence of exceptional research promise. Our primary interest
is in candidates whose research interests are in the systems area of
computer science. We seek creative and energetic applicants whose research
contributions relate to operating systems, databases, information
retrieval, architecture, and networking.  The department is interested in
strengthening its efforts in emerging areas such as geographically
distributed, heterogeneous and mobile computing and multimedia systems.
Candidates with research interests in other systems-related areas will also
be considered. Exceptional applicants may also apply for positions other
than at the assistant professor level.

The Department of Computer Science has thirty-eight tenure and research
track faculty and one hundred and fifty Ph.D. students with broad-based
interdisciplinary research interests.  In addition to the positions
advertised here for the 1997-98 academic year, the department expects to
have more openings in subsequent years. The process of building a new
state-of-the-art facility to house the department is now underway.  For
