I am posting the following for a friend... please do not send any
replies to me (they probably won't survive my delete key:).  Instead,
send your questions to the e-mail address given below.

Please be advised that I do not want to see resumes. In
fact, I pay for EMAIL in or out of here, so if you do send me more than
questions your application will be much less favorably considered.


The University of the South Pacific


1.LECTURER II/LECTURER I IN MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTING SCIENCE - POST 92/33

The University of the South Pacific invites applications
 from suitably qualified people for two academic positions
 in the Department of Mathematics and Computing Science.

For one post the appointee must have a higher degree in
 computing science from a recognised university and an
 interest in pursuing research. The appointee will be
 expected to have the capacity to take responsibility for
 teaching in a programme that includes undergraduate courses
 covering problem-solving and programming methodology, data
 structures and algorithms and their analysis, computer
 organization, database design and management, operating
 systems and communications, and software engineering.
 Teaching experience at the tertiary level and an ability to
 offer postgraduate courses will be distinct advantages.


The appointee to the second post is expected to have the
 capacity to contribute to teaching and research in both
 mathematics and computing science and to have a higher
 degree in either mathematics or computing science with a
 strong background in the other. It is expected that he or
 she will have research interests in mathematical and
 computer technologies.

The Department of Mathematics and Computing Science is the
 largest of the six departments which comprise the School of
 Pure and Applied Sciences. Its responsibilities include
 teaching and research in mathematics, statistics and
 computing science. Although most of the teaching occurs in
 the face to face mode on campus, an additional
 responsibility is the presentation of some courses in the
 distance mode. The present staff of nineteen have ready
 access to the University computer network which consists of
 a Vax cluster, which runs PCSA and serves PCs at a variety
 of laboratories and staff offices, and a departmental DEC
 5100 running ULTRIX. Current staff research interests cover
 numerical analysis, mathematical programming, algorithms,
 ecological modelling, computer-based algebraic
 manipulation, and applications of computer technology in
 education. There is also opportunity for collaborative
 research with members of the Departments of Physics and
 Technology. Appointments will be for a contract period of
 three years and may be renewed by mutual agreement.

Salaries will be in accordance with qualifications and
 experience in the following ranges : Lecturer II : F$17310
-20142; Lecturer I : F$20852-29629.

The University also provides gratuity amounting to 15% of
 basic salary; appointment allowance; partly furnished
 accommodation at a rental of 12.5% of salary; and a
 contribution of 10% of basic salary towards an approved
 superannuation scheme.

Further information may be obtained from the Assistant
 Registrar (Staffing) {Telephone 313900; Telex FJ2276; Fax
 (679) 303437}.

Candidates should send THREE COPIES of their curriculum
 vitae with full personal particulars, names and addresses
 including fax contacts of three referees and date of
 availability. In order to expedite the appointment
 procedures, applicants are advised to ask their referees to
 send confidential reports direct to the University without
 waiting to be contacted.

Applications should be sent to the Registrar, The University
 of the South Pacific, Suva, Fiji, to reach her no later
 than 15 October 1992.
