[Catalin Roman]

Washington University in Saint Louis
Department of Computer Science
Faculty Position Available
www.cs.wustl.edu

Applications are invited for tenure-track faculty positions at the
Assistant, Associate and Full Professor levels. Applicants should hold a
doctorate in Computer Science or a closely related field, have a record of
accomplishment in research, and demonstrate a strong commitment to
teaching.

Building upon the impressive recruiting successes of the last three years
that included ten new tenure-track faculty, the Department plans to fill
several additional faculty positions.  The Department continues to seek
outstanding candidates likely to develop synergistic relationships with
existing areas of research excellence. Academic couples seeking to
co-locate are strongly encouraged to apply.   Research groups in search of
a highly supportive institutional environment may also want to consider
relocating to Washington University.  With the strong backing of the
University and the School of Engineering and Applied Science, the
Department is committed to making significant investments in promising new
areas of study and to providing the kind of resources and environment that
will enable new faculty members to flourish intellectually. Candidates
with a strong background in networking (including wireless communication
and security), software systems (particularly embedded systems, mobile
computing and database), computer engineering, theory, multimedia
communications, human interfaces, and computational science will receive
special consideration.

The Department enjoys a great research reputation and impressive levels of
research activity, e.g., annual research expenditures recently reached a
record high of $450,000 per faculty member.  Research areas which are well
represented in the Department include:  networking and communications;
distributed software systems; graphics and computer vision; artificial
intelligence; computer and system architecture; and computational biology.
Our doctoral graduates have been heading for successful careers in
academia and industrial research centers while noteworthy entrepreneurial
endeavors spearheaded by our faculty and graduates (with the full support
of the University) attest to a highly respected technology transfer
tradition and culture.  Strict limits on University undergraduate
enrollments combined with the increasing popularity of Washington
University allows the Department to continue to offer small classes and
close personal attention to a diverse student body of exceptional quality
and to benefit from strong participation by undergraduates on a wide range
of research projects.  A faculty known for its friendly, accepting and
supportive nature provides a welcoming and mentoring environment for new
arrivals.  Finally, progressive fiscal policies that reward research,
teaching, and innovation by the Department have created an environment
rich in resources that fosters a readiness to invest in promising new
initiatives.

Washington University is a leading private national university recognized
for its world class intellectual contributions (20 Nobel Prize Laureates
have been associated with the University), its exceptional resources (an
endowment among the largest in the nation), its ambitious investments in
physical facilities, and its commitment to research excellence.  The
University is located in the midst of a delightful residential community,
which places much value on education and culture and is very popular with
both faculty and students.

Qualified applicants should submit a complete application (cover letter,
curriculum vita, research statement, teaching statement, and three letters
of reference).  Electronic submissions (recruiting at cs.wustl.edu) are
preferred.  All other communications should be directed to Dr. Catalin
Roman, Chairman, Department of Computer Science, Campus Box 1045,
Washington University, One Brookings Drive, St. Louis, MO 63130-4899.

Applications will be considered as they are received. Those arriving after
February 1, 2002, may not be given full consideration.  Washington
University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
