                     JOB OPENINGS AT MYRIAS RESEARCH CORPORATION
     ___________________________________________________________________________

     Myrias Research Corporation has developed and is now marketing the SPS-2, a
     Scalable Parallel Supercomputer with automatic programming environment.

     The Myrias PAMS (Parallel Application Management System) provides a FORTRAN
     and  C  environment  with  automatic  parallelism, scalability, and program
     debugging that distributes work automatically to keep the  complete  system
     loaded.   PAMS  has already been extensively tested by running applications
     on the SPS-1 containing up to 512 processors.

     Several senior positions have been created in the  Software  Department  to
     enhance and add new functionality to PAMS. These positions are:

     * one management position in the Operating System Group
     * two systems programmer positions
     * one system measurement position
     * one compiler writer position
