The DADO project  of the  Department of Computer  Science at  Columbia
University has three employment opportunities.  Two are for  full-time
Software  Engineers,  and  the  other  position  is  for  a   Research
Associate.  The  research effort  of  this project  is to  design  and
construct both hardware  and software  for the  parallel execution  of
artificial intelligence programs, particularly production systems  and
logic programming.

SOFTWARE ENGINEERs:  Two full-time  programming positions  to  develop
artificial  intelligence  applications  and  systems  software.    The
primary job responsibility  is to  write and modify  software for  the
DADO parallel  computer.   Work  is  in all  phases  of  the  software
development cycle,  with  emphasis upon  implementation,  testing  and
documentation.  Particular  assignments  may  include  development  of
system level  diagnostics, support  of the  parallel LISP  programming
environment, applications development, and instrumentation of  various
software  components.   This  work  will  be  performed  on  the  DADO
hardware, as well as with Hewlett Packard workstations, Vaxes and  the
DEC-2060.  Applicants should have  experience in Lisp  or C, and  also
artificial intelligence programming.


ASSOCIATE RESEARCH  SCIENTIST:  The  Associate will  refine  the  DADO
architecture by analysis  of existing  and planned  DADO hardware  and
software.  He or she will develop modifications to the design with the
goal of achieving specific performance levels, and collaborate to have
these  modifications  incorporated  into  a  refined  version  of  the
hardware.  Requires a PhD in electrical engineering, computer science,
or related field.  Qualified candidates should submit resume and three
letters of reference.
