From: Mario.Barbacci@cmu-sei.arpa POSITIONS AVAILABLE AT THE SOFTWARE ENGINEERING INSTITUTE The Software Engineering Institute is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center operated by Carnegie-Mellon University under contract to the U.S. Air Force Systems Command. Our mission is to provide able professionals with effective technology to rapidly improve the quality of large scale software systems; to accelerate the transition of modern software engineering techniques and methods into practice; and to establish standards of excellence for software engineering practice. To address its mission, the SEI has a broad goal: Transition software engineering technology to significantly improve the ability to produce and support predictably high quality systems. Six program areas describe our major thrusts; projects are underway under each of these areas: * Technology Identification and Assessment * Understanding the Nature of the Technology Transition Process * Education * Reusability and Automation * System Design, Construction, and Integration * Reasoning about Software Engineering Processes The SEI is structured to interface with the DoD and service organizations, with the defense industry, and with the academic and research communities. Technical activities are carried out through three divisions: The Basic Research and Education Division focuses on interaction with the academic and research communities and is responsible for research in software technology as well as development of Software Engineering curricula. The Project Engineering Division identifies, assesses, modifies, implements, and evaluates emerging software technology. The Technology Transition and Training Division focuses on interaction with the DoD and Industry and is responsible for transition of software technology. The Software Engineering Institute is seeking computer scientists, software engineers, and other professionals who understand the problems surrounding large scale software development and support projects, to conduct basic research, and to move the state-of-the practice closer to the state-of-the art.
