                           CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY
                      Department of Computer Science

We are looking for a new faculty member with either strong research records or
excellent research potential to fill a tenure track position at the Assistant 
or

Associate Professor rank.  Applicants must have an interest and ability to 
teach

effectively at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.  The successful
candidate will be expected to carry out independent research and other academic
duties associated with our bachelor's, master's and Ph.D. programs.  Priorities
will be given to the following areas of specialization: software systems,
programming languages and parallel computing.  However, truly exceptional
candidates in all computer science areas are encouraged to apply.

The university is located in Montreal, which is well known for its cultural
diversity and beauty. The department houses approximately 600 undergraduates,
90 Masters and 35 Ph.D. students.  While the undergraduate program emphasizes
both fundamental and practical skills, our graduate research concentrates in
artificial intelligence, combinatorics, computer algebra, databases, 
distributed

computing, large-scale scientific computing, pattern recognition, programming
languages, software engineering and VLSI architectures.  There are twenty-eight
full-time faculty positions supporting these activities.

The department has established CENPARMI (Centre for Pattern Recognition and
Machine Intelligence) with specialization in pattern recognition and related
expert systems research. The research groups in mathematical computing and VLSI
architectures are also members of two inter-university research centres:
CICMA (Centre Interuniversitaire en Calcul Mathematique Algebrique) and GRIAO
(Groupe de Recherche Interuniversitaire en Architecture de Haute Performance et
VLSI).  In particular, CICMA promotes research in algebraic computing,
combinatorics and computational group theory.  Recently, the department has set
up a small parallel computing facility as a start-up platform to develop and
focus interest in this area.  We expect to upgrade this facility in the coming
years.  To promote the development of new faculty members, the university has a
program to provide seed grants for their research in the first three years.

en,cordia is committed to Employment Equity and encourages applications from 
wom
aboriginal peoples, visible minorities and disabled persons.  All other things
being equal, priority will be given to women candidates.  Interested applicants
should send a resume and the names of at least three references to:
