POSITIONS AVAILABLE The Computer Sciences Department of the University of Wisconsin has been funded by the National Science Foundation to design and implement a facility for supporting research in distributed com- puting. This five year project, nicknamed Crystal, is intended to support research in distributed operating systems, program- ming language support for distributed applications, alternative workstation styles, multiprocessor database machines, and paral- lel image processing applications. The hardware for this project will consist of approximately 50 processors (for example, VAX 730's or MC68000 based systems) interconnected with 100 Mbit/second frequency-multiplexed, broadband, local- area network interfaces. We presently have two full-time positions available for this project. One person is needed to help design and imple- ment the Crystal operating system. This position requires at least an M.S. in Computer Science. Applicants should be able to demonstrate experience in operating system implementation and compiler construction. Another position is available to those interested in the development of customized support hardware. This position requires at least a B.S. degree in Electrical En- gineering. Salaries for both positions are competitive (25K to 35K depending on experience), especially considering the cost of living in Madison. For more information contact: Professor David J.
