                           COMMUNICATIONS

MCNC's Center for Communications operates CONCERT, a statewide communications
network that provides advanced communications services to enhance 
collaboration, education, and research in North Carolina and that links 
strategic information resources.


             NETWORKED SOFTWARE SYSTEMS DESIGNER (#529)

The Communications research group at MCNC is involved in a variety of
advanced networking tasks ranging from multimedia networking to gigabit 
communications.  Most of these activities center around the use of TCP/IP
and related protocols, and emerging broadband public network standards
(Asynchronous Transfer Mode)  and leading edge applications.  Our programs
emphasize experimental research and advanced engineering associated with
supercomputer communications and tools for the support of remote
collaboration (particularly video communications).

The position will include becoming involved in one or more of these programs
and take a leading role in defining the scope of activities for a work program
including technical issues to be addressed, scheduling, defining milestones,
required resources, execution, demonstration and support of the work program.
Presentations to peers at technical conferences and workshops, and proposal
preparation are expected.  Interaction with academic researchers and industry
for purposes of technology transfer and synergistic program collaboration is
also required.

Relevant technical experience includes: UNIX, C, C++, and working knowledge of
internet protocols.  Knowledge of ATM networking is desirable.  Understanding
and experience with supercomputer communications technologies are desirable.
Communications/presentation skills are also necessary.  Must have the ability 
to take a systems view of circumstances and develop a strategic plan for area 
of responsibility.  Understand synergistic and leveraging aspect of current 
and pending projects.  Identification of potential future directions and 
opportunities building on existing personal and group skill bases and the 
ability to self start and independently acquire technical knowledge are 
required skills.

EDUCATION:  BS in computer science or equivalent experience.  Three years
relevant work experience.

The North Carolina Supercomputing Center (NCSC) is a state-supported
Supercomputing Center and Research Institute located in the Research
Triangle Park, North Carolina.  The NCSC program is national and
international in scope as well as impact.  NCSC promotes educational and
research activities in high-performance computing and its applications in
science, engineering and other disciplines.  The Center works in close 
collaboration with universities and industry to engance the economic 
development of North Carolina and to support the national high-performance
computing initiative.

NCSC's computational environment includes a Cray Y-MP, running UNICOS,
which began operation September 1989.  The Center is accessible at high band
width (T1/T3) by means of North Carolina's existing data communications network
and is connected to the appropriate national networks.
