Computers and the Liberal Arts
Reed College seeks an energetic and imaginative person with a
strong academic or industrial background who has scholarly interest
and practical experience in computing sciences. The College is poised
to take a substantial initiative in the establishment of a campus-wide
system networking large numbers of personal computers with higher-level
systems. This effort will be undertaken with particular attention to
facilitating the broadest possible use of the computing resources in
the context of a rigorous Liberal Arts curriculum. Thus, we are seeking
a person who will be able to address the computer-related interests of
students and faculty in diverse disciplines and provide guidance and
leadership toward further development of an open-access computer system
in this academic context.
This position was created by a gift to the College from the John D.
and Catherine T. MacAuthur Foundation. The term of the initial
appointment is negotiable but expected to be not less than six months
or more than three years. The successful applicant will have full
faculty status and a formal association with an appropriate academic
department. It will be expected of the occupant of the MacArthur
position that he/she lead an upper division undergraduate seminar in
an area of his/her expertise during each academic term in residence.
In addition it is anticipated that he/she will participate actively
as a consultant in the implementation of the program for diffusion
of computer-based information handling in the Liberal Arts. Address
enquiries and applications (including resume and three letters of
recommendation) to:
