Each year, Xerox' Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) in California and Webster Research Center (WRC) in New York offer 50-60 summer research positions. We are now inviting all highly qualified graduate students to apply to our 1991 Summer Intern Program. This year, positions are available in the following projects: PARC: distributed computing; information retrieval; resource allocation; compiling for garbage collection; alternative architectures; high speed ATM switches; online handwriting recognition; machine-printed text recognition; game theory; graphical user interfaces; multicast algorithms & applications; equation recognition & formatting; collaborative technologies; higher-order constraint languages; computational geometry; parallel sparse matrixes; performance modeling; network routing; computational nanotechnology & molecular modeling; audio editor/browsers; color science, digital color systems and color printing; network pricing & incentives; graphical visualization; graphical editors; image & visual texture analysis; two-handed interfaces; handprint identification; multi-user editors & window systems; distributed document storage & conversion; design & analysis of high-speed LANs; and communications facilities for wireless LANs. WRC: analysis of algorithms for graphical layout & imaging; constraint-based reasoning systems; distributed systems architecture & design; color document creation & editing; structure-directed editors; color imaging & printing; models & measurements of color image quality; high bandwidth image storage & transmission; user interfaces for document databases; graphical representations of numerical data; applications of mathematical programming methods to graphical layout; high-speed rasterization algorithms; applications of attribute grammars to document description; digital typography; and document recognition. Please send a resume stating your academic history and interests, and provide at least two letters of recommendation from faculty members or work supervisors. Applications and references may be submitted via plain-text electronic mail, fax, or postal mail. All information must arrive by February 15, 1991.

XEROX REQUIRES ALL NEW HIRES TO PASS A DRUG SCREENING TEST. ----------------------------------------------------------- Unofficial Addenda: The computational nanotechnology and molecular modeling project, at PARC, will involve designing and modeling various structures on a Silicon Graphics workstation, primarily using molecular mechanics. Structures will be selected based on their projected long range utility in molecular manufacturing. Candidate structures might include rod logic, molecular bearings, etc. The primary requirements for applicants are ability, interest, and an understanding of computational chemistry.
