From: T. C. Rindfleisch <Rindfleisch@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA> STANFORD UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE The Heuristic Programming Project has two openings for programmers in our artificial intelligence research: SYSTEM PROGRAMMER FOR SYMBOLICS LISP MACHINES -- Work in a well-developed networking environment, programming on Symbolics and related Lisp machines which interact with other workstations, mainframe computers, gateways and print and file servers using both IP/TCP and CHAOSNET protocols. Requires developing a detailed understanding of the hardware and software aspects of these systems, developing and maintaining ZetaLisp operating system and programming environment tools, working closely with research users, and serving as liaison with system vendors. An ability to work independently in this environment is essential. Experience as a systems programmer, a working knowledge of ZetaLisp, 4.2 bsd UNIX, TOPS20, ethernet, IP/TCP and CHAOSNET protocols, and a familiarity with Symbolics hardware are desired. CONCURRENT LISP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMER -- Work on the design and research implementation of parallel Lisp-like languages and parallel programming techniques. This work is part of a concurrent symbolic computing architectures project working on highly parallel software and hardware systems for knowledge-based signal understanding. An ability to work independently while coordinating work with hardware and problem-solving software designers is essential. Candidates should have experience with expert systems, Lisp programming, and Lisp implementations. Of particular interest is a knowledge of the Symbolics 3600 programming environment and CommonLisp implementations. Stanford offers an excellent benefits package, a competitive salary, and the opportunity to work in a nationally-recognized research laboratory. Applicants should submit a resume, including salary history to: Thomas Rindfleisch, Heuristic Programming Project, Stanford University, 701 Welch Road, Palo Alto, CA 94304 or by netmail to RINDFLEISCH@SUMEX-AIM. -------
