		COMPUTER  ENGINEERING

The Computer Engineering department at the University of 
California's Santa Cruz campus invites applications for an 
assistant or associate research computer engineer position.  

The Baskin Center for Computer Engineering and Information Sciences at 
UCSC offers the B.A./B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in Computer Engineering 
and in Computer and Information Sciences.  The Computer Engineering 
Department currently has 11 faculty and more than 60 graduate students.  
Areas of active and externally funded research in the Computer Engineering 
Department include computer architecture, VLSI design, image and digital 
signal processing, computer graphics, communications and networks, and 
image systems and data compression.  Related research by the Computer & 
Information Sciences Department includes languages and environments, 
computer graphics, distributed systems, operating systems, computer 
systems design, and computer applications.  

AREAS OF INTEREST:
The goal of the REINAS (Real-time Environmental Information Network and
Analysis System) project is to develop an architecture and system to gather and
integrate data from geographically dispersed sensors and to control individual
programmable sensors; to store, manage, and provide secure distributed access
to this data; and to facilitate real-time operational use of this data by
environmental scientists at geographically distributed locations.

The system will provide support for real-time data acquisition, visualization,
and management of large environmental data sets.  The focus is on the design,
development, and implementation of an efficient architecture for data
collection, management, processing and visualization in real-time for
applications in meteorology and oceanography.

The Research Computer Engineer will be responsible for day-to-day management of
the systems development team (consisting of several graduate students and
staff), will have a major role (with faculty investigators) in all phases of
the architecture and design, and will supervise the implementation of the
various components.  Responsibilities will include:  developing algorithms,
protocols and interfaces, developing and implementing software engineering
methodology for this project, writing design documents, and working with
various vendors to procure the necessary equipment.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:  Ph.D. or equivalent in Computer Engineering, 
Electrical Engineering, Computer Sciences or closely related field is 
required.  Substantial experience with large software projects, project
management, and software engineering methodology, distributed systems 
and networks is preferred.

RANK:  Assistant Research Computer Engineer or Associate Research Computer Engineer

(Note:  An associate research computer engineer requires research experience
equivalent to an associate professor.)

SALARY:  $41,600 - $59,500 depending on qualifications and experience.  
(This position is funded by a research grant for 3 years with a possible 
renewal for 2 additional years.)
****Salary is based on an eleven-month appointment.

POSITION AVAILABLE:  As soon as possible after the closing date of this 
recruitment.  Contingent on funding.

TO APPLY:  Send curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, and
three letters of recommendation to:

	Chair, Computer Engineering Research Committee
	Baskin Center for Computer Engineering & Information Sciences
	Applied Sciences Building
	University of California
	Santa Cruz  CA  95064

(Questions may be sent via e-mail to recruit@cse.ucsc.edu or recruit@ucsccrls.bitnet.)

CLOSING DATE:  October 5, 1992.  To insure that your application 
receives consideration, it MUST reference the provision number of 
#T92-03 for the assistant level and #T92-03X for the associate level.
