                            POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT

             ASSISTANT COMPUATIONAL PHYSICS RESEARCH SCIENTIST

                UNIVERSITY COMPUTING AND NETWORKING SERVICES

                          THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA


The University of Georgia is pleased to announce the availability of an
Assistant Research Scientist position to support campus computational
physics research activities.  The position will be situated within the
Specialized Systems Support Group of the University Computing and
Networking Services office.  The primary responsibility of the person
in this position will be assisting and collaborating with research faculty
in physics in effectively exploiting advanced computing architectures and
methods in their research endeavors.

Applicants for this position must have expertise and demonstrated research
accomplishments in the application of parallel computing methods to the
numerical simulation of phenomena and properties in a variety of physical
systems.  Experience in applying parallel computational techniques to areas
such as nuclear reaction studies, phonon dynamics, and plasma processes is
also highly desirable.  Applicants must hold the terminal academic degree
awarded in their discipline area.  Preference will be given to those
candidates with experience in the design and successful implementation of
Monte Carlo simulational algorithms in a hierarchial client/server
computing environment.

Applicants will be evaluated on their perceived ability to contribute to
established research programs within the University, knowledge and
experience in parallel computing methods within their research speciality,
experience in the design and implementation of complex software systems,
and demonstrated abiltity to develop and maintain collaborative working
relationships with academic researchers and other professional staff.  

Computing facilities currently used in computational physics research at
the University of Georgia include an IBM ES9000 Model 720 with six vector
facilities, a cluster of IBM RISC System/6000 servers, a Silicon Graphics
visualization center, a variety of UNIX scientific workstations, and a
diversity of personal computers.  These systems are all attached to a
campus Ethernet TCP/IP network which in turn is connected to the Internet.
The IBM ES9000 and RISC System/6000 systems are operated as a shared and
hierarchical collection of compute servers under AIX. 

The salary level for this position will be determined by the experience and
qualifications of the selected candidate.  This is not a tenure track
position but carries faculty status.  Advancement is possible based on
performance.

Application materials, including a personal resume, three professional
references and publication lists, should be received by no later than
December 15, 1992.  These materials should be addressed to:

		       Ms. Carolyn Gard
		       Manager, Specialized Systems Support
		       University Computing and Networking Services
		       University of Georgia
		       Athens, GA 30602-1911
