COMPUTER SCIENCE FACULTY POSITIONS MICHIGAN TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Applications are invited for faculty positions in Computer Science. Particular areas desired include: data bases, operating systems, performance evaluation and distributed computing; however, all areas of expertise will be considered. A Ph.D. in Computer Science (or equivalent) is necessary for all tenure-track positions while an MS in CS is necessary for the rank of instructor. Applicants for a senior position should have a strong research record. Visiting positions may also be available. 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. Current faculty research interests include optimizing compilers for parallel machines, architecture, software complexity metrics, artifical intelligence, graphics, user interface design and systolic arrays. 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.) The Computer Science group is in the planning stages of forming a separate department and is separately advertising for a head. Salary is competitive and fringe benefits are excellent. Summer research support is possible. Applicants should send a resume and the names of at least three references to: Dr. Linda M.
