The University of Central Florida
Proudly Announces the Establishment of the
Charles N. Millican
Endowed Chair in Computer Science
This chair, one of the first of its kind in the southeast,
has been established with an initial funding of $1,000,000.
The Search Committee is accepting applications and
nominations for a person who will help us become a leader in
computer science. We desire an individual with an
established and continuing record of research excellence in
one of the core areas of computer science. Areas which are
of particular interest to us include Architecture
(especially VLSI design), Programming Systems (languages,
tools and environments), Artificial Intelligence (especially
expert systems), Data Bases, and Algorithm Design and
Analysis.
The successful candidate's research abilities must be
demonstrated by traditional academic measures. In
particular, we are looking for an individual who has
extensive publications in refereed scholarly journals, has
national recognition and is experienced in guiding the
research efforts of others.
The University of Central Florida's Endowed Chair in
Computer Science presents many opportunities and challenges.
You will work as part of an emerging computer science
program. Our departmental research facilities include a VAX
11/780, a VAX 11/730, a PDP 11/44, a microprocessor
laboratory, and a VLSI design laboratory. These
departmental resources are managed by a full time staff
including a director, a systems programmer and a technician.
In addition, we have easy access to the University's IBM and
Harris mainframes and the substantial equipment that is
attached to Florida's computing networks. These include
CDC, UNIVAC, IBM, and AMDAHL machines.
Computer Science at UCF offers programs leading to degrees
at all three levels. Our Ph.D. program, the first in the
state of Florida, was formed as the State's only center of
excellence in Computer Science. We have twenty full-time
faculty and fifteen part time faculty who are supported by
over thirty graduate assistants. The University's
enrollment is about 15,000, with almost one in ten being a
computer science major.
Central Florida and Orlando are becoming centers for high
technology. The presence of high tech industries promises
to provide an excellent forum for industrial/university
cooperation. Such a forum will increase the already
substantial research support provided to us by Central
Florida's industries.
We want an individual who interacts well with others and is
willing to guide the research efforts of both students and
junior faculty members. In return for this we offer an
excellent salary opportunity and a great deal of freedom to
pursue research goals. We also offer a superb, unpolluted
environment in which to live. Orlando itself has a vast
number of beautiful lakes, with the ocean being less than 40
minutes away.
Salary and term of appointment are open. The starting date
is also negotiable, with the most desirable time being mid
August of 1984.
Applications and nominations must be postmarked on or before
March 1, 1984. Please send your resume in confidence to:
