Computer Science Faculty Positions
School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
Washington State University

The School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science solicits
applications for one or more permanent computer science faculty
positions.  Responsibilities include initiation and supervision of
research programs and instruction at undergraduate and graduate
levels.  Applicants for assistant professorships should demonstrate
the potential for excellence in research.  Applicants for associate
and full professorships should have proven records of accomplishment
in their fields as evidenced by sponsored research programs and
publications.  We seek outstanding candidates from all areas of
computer science.  Areas of particular interest include software
engineering,  artificial intelligence, parallel and distributed
computing, database theory, and theoretical computer science.
Screening of applications will begin November 16, 1992 and continue until
the positions are filled.  Positions start on January 15 and August
15, 1993.

Washington State University has offered the Ph.D. in computer science
since 1970, and also offers B.S. and M.S. degrees.  The School of EECS
has over forty faculty (approximately fifteen with primary interests in
computer science and engineering), sixty computer science graduate
students, and active research groups devoted to parallel and distributed
processing, imaging (computer graphics, visualization, image processing,
and vision), neural networks, and other areas. Computing facilities in the
School of EECS include PCs, graphics workstations, and servers, all with
Internet access.

WSU has about 16,000 students and is located in Pullman, a quiet
university town in the southeast corner of the state (approximately 90
miles south of Spokane).  Nearby are some of the nation's most pristine
and uncrowded places for outdoor recreation.  The Pullman school system is
widely acknowledged to be one of the very finest in the Pacific Northwest.

Applicants should send a cover letter, a curriculum vita, and the names and
addresses of three references qualified to comment on their research and
teaching qualifications to

Chair, Computer Science Search Committee
School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

More so. I have a chance to do my own thing on my own schedule, under
my own supervision, and with smarter people, and in a livelier place.
And work on some stuff that's new enough not to have been put in the
cookbooks yet, i.e., research. And teach people a few things that may
help them get along in life.  And, while I admit it's a long shot,
what I do might just do somebody some good sometime.

If you find the perfect job for all people, please let me know.

[ ... deleted discussion on which is worse to get, a PhD in physics
or CS, as far as getting work with the PhD is concerned...]


I think one should get a PhD in an area that they really like, and
not pay attention to the job market too much.

someone mentioned Physics being bad as far as the job situation is,
is this just for getting teaching positions in top schools? or all
schools period? or all schools and industry as well?

I look at the back of Physics today mag. and I do see some openings, from
different level of schools, few from industry. offcourse I dont know how
many are applying to these positions.

my other question is, how do you see the situation for PhD in physics
in 5-6 years from now? and what field(s) in Physics would you advice
someone just starting graduate school, one to concentrate on?

Dr Lee Visiting Research Fellowships in the Sciences


The college proposes to elect Visiting Fellows, in the Natural
Sciences and Mathematics, for up to nine months in the period
September 1993 to August 1994.

The Fellowships are intended to enable distinguished senior
scholars to pursue their own research as members of the college
community, and they will be expected to reside in Oxford during
the period of tenure.    Fellows must make their own research
arrangements with Oxford laboratories.

Each Fellow will be entitled to free family accommodation, a
study-room in college and free dinners.   Return fares from the
place of residence will be paid for each Fellow and his/her
family.   Limited stipends may also be offered, depending on
individual circumstances.

Further details may be obtained from The Dean's Secretary, Christ

Sure.  What you are after is the Science & Technology Information

press releases, and "Dear Colleague" memos on line.  You can get
documents via e-mail, via ftp, or directly to a vt100 emulator.

FOR E_MAIL:

Send a message to stisserv@nsf.gov.  The text should be as follows (the

You will receive a list of documents on STIS and instructions for
retreiving them.

FOR FTP:

FTP to stis.nsf.gov.  If you canot connect, try 128.150.195.40.  Enter

Retreive the file ftpindex.  This contains a list of files on line and

Well, it seems that the situation is not too bad in the CS major.
Things are much worse in Physics major. Earlier this year, an article
on NY Times reported that about 800 applicants applied for a teaching
postion in a college at NYC. And more than half of them are well
qualified. At least with a CS degree, there might be better chance to
find a position in the industries. With a physics Ph.D.? I graduated
in May this year with a Ph.D in nuclear physics, I havn't found a job
yet. I don't know what I have to do to get a job. Flipping burgers?

Having graduated with a math Ph.D. one year ago, I suspect things are actually 
worse than that. For one thing, those who can't find jobs try to postpone 
graduation for as long as possible (with universities running budget deficits,
this is becoming harder to do). Secondly, this report provides no data on
how many Ph.D.'s found employment outside of the United States in the past
and I strongly suspect this number is up, because for most foreigners  finding
a job in their home country is a contingency plan, which they implement after
having failed in US job search. It's kind of fishy to count as employed those 
who had to go abroad because they couldn't find jobs in the USA. Thirdly, this
report says nothing about people who are one or two years past their Ph.D.,
and this is where things get really tough, because the competition for 
tenure-track positions is cutthroat.

Things now border on insanity. Every four year college you haven't even
heard of gets at least 600 applications. Very many people find one year 
postions and have to begin a new job search almost on the day they begin
employment (well, in November...).

There is lie, damned lie and statistics (attributed to Benjamin Disraeli
and Mark Twain). Very True.

I don't know anything about microbiology and hence some of the stupid
questions,

. Is M.S. enough as a qualification or should she aim for Ph.D?
. What are the options for jobs in India? In U.S?
. Which Universities would you recommend?
. What is the financial help situation specifically for M.S. and Ph.D.?

Any other information is much appreciated.

   I guess spending years and years of "research" and lots of taxpayer
   dollars in an equally windowless office, playing office politics,

Well this is clearly why we should all advocate the abolishment of
work in our society.  Back to the land I say!  (or at least back to
the LAN)  Potato chips or computer chips, it's all the same in the
great cosmic sense.  Free your mind and your ass will follow.  Do what
thou wilt.  Do what you love and the money will follow.  Love what
thou wilt and their lover will follow.
