COMPUTER SCIENCE DEPARTMENT HEAD
Michigan Technological University invites applications
and nominations to head a new Department of Computer
Science. An established CS program staffed by a strong,
cohesive group of computer scientists is the basis for this
new department. Current faculty research interests include
optimizing compilers for parallel machines, architecture,
software complexity metrics, artificial intelligence,
graphics, user interface design and systolic arrays.
The university offers a BS (450 majors) and an MS (15
graduate students) in computer science. Departmental
computing facilities include a VAX 11/750 running 4.2BSD
Unix. This system, dedicated to CS research, is linked to
CSNET and USENET and was acquired through an NSF computer
science research equipment grant. University facilities
include an IBM 4341-based graphics system (part of a $2
million grant from IBM; MTU was one of 21 universities to
receive such grants), two Sperry 1100's, various micro labs,
and an FPS-164/MAX array processor.
Michigan Tech, located in Michigan's scenic Upper
Peninsula, is a state university. Its approximately 7,000
students are primarily enrolled in engineering and science
degree programs. (Mean test scores for 1984 freshmen: math
SAT 594; math ACT 26.9.)
Candidates should have an established reputation in
research and scholarship in an area of computer science and
should be capable of leading a growing department. Salary
is competitive and fringe benefits are excellent.
Applicants should send a resume and the names of at least
three references to:
