The ISIS and Meta Projects expect to have several positions open up during the next few months. These span a range from programmer/support positions to Ph.D. research openings. At this time, we are interested in establishing contacts with individuals who might have an interest in joining our activity, in early 1991 or beyond. The projects all involve applications of the ISIS and Meta technologies or extensions of these systems to achieve very high performance or meet realtime guarantees. We should probably note that although the Cornell CS Department has several faculty positions open, the ISIS and Meta efforts are both close-knit groups. We are looking for people who would like to work with us on problems of importance to the two projects in a variety of real settings. These positions would require experience with some subset of: UNIX, Mach, Chorus, ISIS, distributed computing and protocol development. We tend to look for do-ers: people who like to see their ideas implemented. Needless to say, our effort is an equal opportunity one. Foreign applicants are welcome. Ithaca is located in a rural area of Northern New York State. The region is extremely attractive, filled with gorges and hiking trails, and with easy access to swimming areas in the summer and skiing (both downhill and cross-country) in the winter. The town itself is quiet but surprisingly cosmopolitan, with a large number of movie theaters, several concert series, plays, etc. Real estate prices are very modest, and a 15-minute commute to work is considered long.
