VIRGINIA TECH

Department of Computer Science

The Virginia Tech Department of Computer Science seeks to fill two anticipated
positions at the Assistant Professor level, starting Fall 1997.  We are
recruiting in the areas of user interface software and tools, software
engineering applied to user interface development, networked information
systems, and problem-solving environments.

The Department has special strengths in human-computer interaction (HCI),
scientific computing, and software engineering.  Research funding is strong,
over $2M/year.  We are in the fourth year of an NSF Research Infrastructure
grant in HCI and an NSF Educational Infrastructure grant in the use of digital
libraries in computer science education.  We have just begun a five-year NSF
Graduate Research Traineeship Program in HCI.  A new NSF Academic Research
Infrastructure grant will provide a CAVE virtual environment to be placed
within the $26M Advanced Communications and Information Technology Center soon
to be constructed on campus.

Virginia Tech is located near Roanoke, in the New River Valley, between the
Appalachian Mountains and the Blue Ridge Mountains, and immediately adjacent
to 1770K acres of national forest.  It is the home of the Blacksburg
Electronic Village, one of the most advanced community networking projects in
the country.  The Department has a number of educational technology grants
that are integrated with this infrastructure.
