The Department of Computer Science of the School of
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science invites applica-
tions for the position of Head of Computer Science.
Polytechnic University, a technological urban univer-
sity established in 1854, is located on three campuses in
the greater New York area. The university has an enrollment
of approximately 4,700 students. Because of its location,
there is close interaction with major companies in New York
and New Jersey. The main campus is in Downtown Brooklyn
adjacent to Brooklyn Heights, one of New York's desirable
residential communities. The other two campuses are in
Farmingdale, Long Island, and in Hawthorne, Westchester
County. The Brooklyn campus is undergoing major development
involving Metrotech, a 16-acre academic/research/industrial
park. As part of this project, the entire campus will be
renovated; in particular, the Computer Science Department
will be housed in a new building which is already under con-
struction.
The Department of Computer Science has 20 tenure-track
faculty members and offers degree programs leading to the
BS, MS and Ph.D. degrees. Active research is being carried
out in the areas of software engineering, algorithms, compu-
tational geometry, parallel computation, programming
languages, compilers, computer architecture, operating sys-
tems, network analysis and management, and image analysis
and understanding.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree and an outstand-
ing record in Computer Science. Applications and nomina-
tions should be sent to the Chairman of the Committee, Pro-
fessor Theodor Tamir, Polytechnic University, 333 Jay
