Postdoctoral position at Duke

[Jeff Vitter]

A postdoctoral position at the level of Visiting Assistant
Professor of Computer Science is available starting August 2001 in
the Department of Computer Science at Duke University, under the
supervision of Prof. Jeff Vitter.  The position, which is
contingent upon grant funding, is for one year and can be extended
for one or more additional years by mutual consent.  Applicants
must have clearly demonstrated experience and skills in algorithms
design and implementation.  Familiarity with external memory
algorithms and indexing is a definite plus.  Teaching
responsibilities may include one research course per year.

The position will include membership in the Center for Geometric
and Biological Computing, a collaborative effort funded by the
Army Research Office and the National Science Foundation.  The
problems of interest center around high-performance geometric and
biological applications.  They include development of efficient
methods for spatial databases, geographic information systems, and
indexing, especially those dealing with massive amounts of data.

The candidate is expected to play a vital role in the development
and/or use of the TPIE programming environment
(http://www.cs.duke.edu/TPIE/) for external memory computation.
Additional responsibilities will be to interact with agency
scientists and to help prepare contract, technical, and other
reports.

Please send a letter of interest and your CV, and ask three
