  A Chaired Professorship in Telecommunications Technology has been established
in the Department of Electrical Engineering.   The  person  appointed  to  this
chair  will  also  serve  as Director of the AT&T Telecommunications Technology
Program.

telecommunications  at  the  University and to further develop a center in this
field for research, education and  application  which  will  be  of  world-wide
eminence.

  The  holder  of  the  chair  would have an appointment in the Moore School of
Electrical Engineering and, depending on background, secondarily in one or more

  Each candidate should have  superlative  qualifications  in  scholarship  and
teaching and be able to achieve a top leadership position in telecommunications
for the University of Pennsylvania.  To do so will require the ability to  work
closely with AT&T, other firms, foundations and government agencies.
