Lectureships at Glasgow University

		  Lectureships in Computing Science

We invite applications for two Lectureships in the Department of
Computing Science. The Department is dedicated to excellence in both
teaching and research, and currently has the highest possible research
rating of 5.  Applicants must possess the ability and enthusiasm to fit
into this environment.

Applications are invited both from persons with excellent track records
in the academic or industrial sectors, and from younger persons who show
outstanding promise in teaching and research. Applicants should
preferably possess expertise in one or more of the following areas:
databases, distributed systems, human-computer interaction, information
retrieval, multimedia, and software engineering. Outstanding applicants
in other areas that match departmental interests are also encouraged.

The Department is a thriving, vigorous and friendly place.  There are
around 33 academic staff, including five professors (plus a sixth about
to be appointed), supported by excellent secretarial, technical, and
programming staff, as well as state-of-the-art computer systems.  We
teach over 1000 students (400 full-time equivalents).  Our course
structure is in a phase of rapid development: we plan new courses at both
undergraduate and advanced MSc level.  The new lecturers would be
expected to contribute to the teaching and administration of the
department.

Glasgow is an exciting city to live in.  It is large and cosmopolitan,
with spectacular Victorian architecture alongside modern developments,
and it is a major centre for the arts, conferences and exhibitions.  The
Highlands and western seaboard are within easy reach.

Both appointments will be on the Lecturer scale (13,601 - 25,107 pounds
p.a.), at points determined by age, experience, and ability.

Further particulars may be obtained from the Academic Personnel Office,
University of Glasgow, Glasgow G12 8QQ, Scotland.  Applications (eight
copies of CV, a covering letter, and names and addresses of three
referees) should be lodged by 13th May 1994, quoting reference number
TG/8251.

Informal enquiries are welcomed. Contact the Head of Department, Dr David
Watt (tel. [phone], e-mail [e-mail]).
