Computer Science Research Opportunities at the
NAVAL RESEARCH LABORATORY
Computer Science and Systems Branch
WE SEEK qualified candidates at all levels of experience to propose,
conduct, or assist in computer science research and development
projects. The Computer Science and Systems Branch is active in:
>> software engineering >> computer security >> information theory
>> search theory >> expert systems >> message processing
>> software measurement >> speech and signal processing
>> formal software specifications.
Our interests also include performance modeling and evaluation, human-
computer interfaces, and program specification and verification tools.
OUR GROUP is small, close-knit, and informal, with a research staff
of 24 members; 9 hold PhDs. Attendance at conferences and publication
in the open literature are encouraged. There are ample opportunities
for educational support toward graduate degrees. Several branch
members also teach at local universities.
COMPUTING RESOURCES at NRL include a Cray X-MP/12 system. This
unique system includes a front end consisting of a cluster of VAX
11/785s with connections to the ARPANET and to a broadband network
linking other NRL computers. The Branch maintains VAX 11/780, Sun, and
VAX 11/750 machines running UNIX and VMS, and a Symbolics Lisp
Computer. Each office includes a terminal with a high-speed link to
these systems, which are also linked to the ARPANET.
THE NAVAL RESEARCH LABORATORY is a government laboratory located on
a 129-acre campus on the banks of the Potomac River in Washington, D.C.
It was founded at the suggestion of Thomas Edison more than 60 years
ago and carries out a wide variety of basic and applied research. The
Washington area offers a temperate climate and an outstanding cultural
environment, including the museums of the Smithsonian Institution, the
Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and several excellent
professional and collegiate theatre groups.
POSITIONS, including part-time positions, are available. Send a
copy of your resume to:
