                    New Faculty Positions

      The   Department of Computer Science at Louisiana State
University invites applications for several positions,  gen-
erally  at the assistant professor level, starting either in
the Spring or Fall 2003.  For any of these positions, appli-
cants  must  have  a  Ph.D. in computer science or a closely
related field plus plus a commitment to excellence  in  both
research  and teaching.  Salary will be competitive and com-
mensurate with the qualifications of the candidate.

      Tenure-track faculty positions are available, generally
at  the  entry assistant professor level and starting either
in Spring or Fall 2003.  Candidates in all areas are encour-
aged  to  apply;  however, some areas of particular interest
include high performance and scientific computing, architec-
ture,  theory,  programming  languages,  cyber security, and
operating  systems.   Database  management  and  information
retrieval systems are also areas of interest.

      The  University  is  the  comprehensive  university  in
Louisiana, and participates in  the  Governor's  Information
Technology  Initiative,  under  which a number of additional
interdisciplinary positions will be available,  in  scalable
information infrastructure areas such as high-end computing,
intelligent information and data management, biological com-
puting, medical imaging, materials science, mobile and wire-
less network technologies,  virtual  organization  and  com-
merce, and geoinformatics.

      As part of this initiative, the University has acquired
a Beowulf-class Supercomputer, which  will  be  one  of  the
world's fastest machines, and will be dedicated to high per-
formance  computing.   In  addition,  LSU  has  many   other
research  computing facilities to deal with very large, com-
plex problems facing scientists,  engineers,  and  industry.
The  departmental research facilities can be seen on our web
site at http://www.csc.lsu.edu.

      Current  research  interests  of  the  faculty  in  the
department  include  computer  networks, artificial intelli-
gence, software engineering, robotics, computer  vision  and
image processing, databases, information retrieval, parallel
and distributed algorithms, theoretical computer science and
high performance computing.  The Department offers the B.S.,
M.S., and Ph.D. degrees.

      A  complete  application  shall  include  a  curriculum
vitae, list of publications, names and addresses of at least
three references, and a statement of research  and  teaching
objectives.     The    Department   will   begin   reviewing
applications by December 15, 2002 and  will  continue  until
the position is filled.  Applications and inquires should be
sent to:
