FACULTY POSITION IN COMPUTER GRAPHICS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE The Department of Computer Science has a tenure track posi- tion open to any good candidate, from a senior person with an excellent research record and a proven ability to manage a computer graphics lab, to a bright just graduated Ph. D. There is now a very active group in Computer Graphics, headed by Bill Buxton and Alain Fournier, with over 15 gra- duate students (5 of them PhD students). The active research topics include modelling, rendering, computer ani- mation. computational geometry, graphics system architec- ture, input devices, interactive techniques, UIMS, complex- ity of graphics algorithms, high quality text on raster display, colour spaces and semantics of rendering. In the past five years, 8 SIGGRAPH papers were authored or co- authored by members of our lab (and 5 more by past and future members). Our present equipment includes a shared Vax 11/780, an Adage (Ikonas) 3000, a Matrix with a 16mm camera, many stan- dard and custom input devices, various low cost frame buffers, access to SUN, Perq and locally designed worksta- tions, and miscellaneous graphics terminals. We also have negotiated access to a Dicomed film plotter and a Cray-1S (the access to the Cray is to the tune of 2 CPU hours this year, maybe more next year). The Department at large has an excellent reputation (top half dozen in North America, by some measure), the stu- dents, especially the grad students, are very good (and numerous). The position will include membership in the Com- puter Sytems Research Institute, which groups 40 plus researchers from Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and other related fields. Members are involved in research in networks, languages, database, office information sys- tems, programming methodology, modelling and performance evaluation. In Toronto live 2.5 million people, several dozen eth- nic groups, thousands (millions, billions) of black squir- rels, and two Turing Award winners.
