IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY
DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE

We seek outstanding applicants for tenure-track
faculty positions at the Assistant Professor level.  
We are looking for individuals in all areas, but
preference will be given to computer scientists
in the areas of artificial intelligence, networks, databases, 
and programming languages.  Interdisciplinary
research is a plus, but not required.  The positions require 
a PhD in Computer Science or a related field, strong evidence of research
scholarship and funding potential, and interest and ability in 
teaching graduate and undergraduate students.

The department currently consists of 15 full-time faculty and offers
BS/MS/PhD programs.  There are approximately 660 undergraduate and 
110 graduate majors.  Established research and educational programs 
in our department include artificial intelligence, software engineering, 
theory of computation, VLSI, design and analysis of algorithms, database,
parallel and distributed computing, programming languages, operating systems, 
computer architectures and communication networks.  We place strong
emphasis on research, support a high quality graduate program and 
provide a teaching load of three courses per year.  Research collaboration
opportunities exist with other research units at ISU, such as Ames
Laboratory (US Dept. of Energy) and Visualization Laboratory (College
of Engineering).

ISU is located in Ames, a city with a population of 50,000 and a 
secondary school system that ranks as one of the best in US. For
