UNIVERSITY OF UTAH
Computer Science Faculty Positions
As part of an active program to double the current faculty size, the Department
of Computer Science at the University of Utah solicits applications at all
professorial ranks. The department currently has 13 tenure-track faculty
members, as well as an additional 5 serving in research capacities. The
student population includes approximately 250 undergraduate majors, 33 Master's
degree students, and 26 PhD students.
Larger funded research projects include:
computer-aided geometric design and computer graphics
computer-aided instruction
functional and logic programming
multiprocessor and special-purpose architectures and systems
robotics and computer vision
portable A.I. support systems
text-searching machines
VLSI
Funding sources include major support from NSF-CER and DARPA, and other
diversified support from the government and private sectors.
The Department operates a professionally staffed research computing facility,
including a DECSystem 2060, a Vax 785, four Vax 750s, and a large network of
Apollo, Sun, and HP workstations. The facility is interconnected by both an
Ethernet and broadband local area network, with gateways to ARPANET and CSNET
research and Telenet commercial networks. An advanced Graphics and CAD
laboratory houses a large collection of equipment, including the most current
products from Evans and Sutherland, Chromatics, Megatek, Tektronix, Apollo,
Lexidata, Silicon Graphics, and Symbolics. Several rapidly growing networks of
professional workstations, based on the Apollo DN300, Sun/2 and Hewlett-Packard
9836, are in place with over 35 nodes and associated file servers and gateways
to the host network. An instructional facility consisting of various
microprocessors and a Vax 780 is also operated by the Department. Major
increases in computing power in the form of a VAX 8600, and a Gould dual
processor 9080 will be installed this year. The department also has access to
a VLSI fabrication facility within its college.
Starting date for the appointment is 1 July 1985.
