DUKE UNIVERSITY

Department of Computer Science

We invite applications for a tenure-track or tenured faculty
position in experimental systems starting Fall semester 1997.  Areas
of primary interest in experimental systems include high-speed networks,
databases and object-oriented systems,
compilers, programming languages,
operating systems, mobile computing,
software development environments,
multimedia, parallel and distributed processing,
computer architecture, and digital systems design.

The Department has major research efforts and funding in the areas of
systems and architecture, algorithms, scientific computing, and
artificial intelligence.  Facilities include an NSF-funded experimental
cluster of DEC AlphaStations and Sun UltraSPARCs,
over 120 other computers and high-end graphics workstations, and
access to a variety of supercomputers through MCNC in nearby Research
Triangle Park.
The Department is also connected to the North Carolina Information Highway,
the first fully integrated and functioning high-speed statewide network
in the U.S.

The Department relocated in 1994 into spacious new quarters in the 80
million dollar Levine Science Research Center, a state of the art facility
devoted to interdisciplinary research in computer science, environmental
science, biomedical science and engineering, and medicine.

The Durham, N.C. area, which was rated in recent years by Money and
Fortune magazines as the best place in the U.S. to live and work, offers
a wide variety of professional, cultural, and recreational attractions.

Applications should include a curriculum vita, a list of publications,
and copies of the most important publications.  A Ph.D. in computer
science or related area is required.  Applicants should also request at
least four letters of reference to be sent directly to the faculty
search chair.  To guarantee full consideration, applications and letters
of reference should be received by February 1, 1997, addressed to
