Faculty Position in Systems
North Carolina State University
Department of Computer Science
The North Carolina State University Department of Computer Science seeks one or more tenure�-track assistant professors in the area of systems to begin August 16, 2003. We are seeking candidates who have research experience in the areas of parallel and distributed systems, operating systems and middleware, real-time and embedded systems, multimedia computing, mobile wireless computing and other systems areas. Candidates are expected to have both strong experimental and theoretical interests in these areas of systems research complemented by an educational interest in operating systems teaching. Successful candidates will have a PhD in Computer Science or a related field, and demonstrated potential to establish a strong research and teaching program at NCSU. These positions have been created to complement our established research strength in computer networking and distributed systems. A number of faculty have an interest in parallel and distributed systems, embedded and real-time systems, multimedia networking, optical networks, security, real-time communication, quality-of-service, concurrent system testing, distributed database systems, compilers, and object-oriented programming. Their work is supported by NSF, DARPA, DOE, AFOSR, Cisco, Ericsson, Fujitsu, IBM, MCNC, Nortel, NSA, and the State of North Carolina. The Department is in a period of rapid growth and advancement, and is positioning itself to be at the forefront of selected areas in computer science. The candidate(s) will have access to our Operating Systems cluster, state-of-art high performance ATM-based network, and the North Carolina Giga-POP and Internet-2 facilities as well as the North Carolina Supercomputing Center.
In addition to regular tenure--track positions, candidates in parallel and distributed systems have the option of a joint appointment with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a leading DOE center with opportunities for research in large-scale scientific computing. Joint appointments on a tenure--track position include a reduced teaching load and additional opportunities for collaboration as well as access to DOE computing facilities. Interest in a joint appointment should be explicitly stated in the application.
The University is located in Raleigh, which forms one vertex of the world-renowned Research Triangle Park. The Research Triangle area was recently recognized as one of the best place to live in the U.S. It also boasts a high concentration of high technology companies. In addition to the historical campus, the department occupies substantial space on NCSU's new Centennial Campus, an innovative co-location of university and industrial labs designed to foster close collaboration. The State of North Carolina recently passed a major bond initiative that includes \$83 million for a new engineering campus on Centennial Campus. A new 90,000 sq.~ft.~\$36 million Computer Science / Electrical and Computer Engineering building is currently in the design stage. Interested candidates should send their CV and the names of four references,preferably prior to January 15, 2003, to:
