From: Larry Fagan  <FAGAN@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA>

		Scientific Programmer -- Stanford University

	We are seeking an experienced LISP programmer for a position that
involves applications programming for a medical therapy planning system at
the Medical Computer Science research group at Stanford University.  This
project, under the direction of Lawrence Fagan and Edward Shortliffe,
represents an application of AI techniques to the treatment of cancer
patients.  The main task will be the development of methods to represent
strategic knowledge and qualitative reasoning.  The programmer will be
actively involved in the design of system as well as assisting in it's
implementation.  This therapy planning program will be interfaced with the
ONCOCIN medical expert system during the next year.

	This position requires significant experience with artificial
intelligence techniques and LISP, preferably Interlisp.  Masters level
training in computer science and previous experience with personal
workstations are highly desirable; the system is being developed on Xerox
1108 LISP machines.  Ability to work closely with other programmers is
important.
