                  Tenure Track & Visiting Faculty Positions
                           (to start August 2001)

     The Computer Science Department of WPI expects to hire two tenure
     track faculty, and up to two visiting professors, beginning August
     2001. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Computer Science or a
closely
     related field, and strength in both research and teaching. We are
     interested in excellent candidates at all ranks who complement and
     enhance our existing research in Artificial Intelligence,
Databases,
     Information Systems, Software Engineering, Systems/Networks,
     Theory/Algorithms, and Visualization/Graphics. Preference will be
     given to candidates in the areas of Software Engineering and
     Programming Languages.

     The department grants the B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer
     Science, and has a Computer and Communications Networks graduate
     program, jointly with the Electrical and Computer Engineering
     department.

     The department offers a collegial, supportive environment, with
     mechanisms established to encourage interdisciplinary activities. A

     combination of low teaching loads, WPI's innovative project-based
     curriculum, and a growing graduate program, support faculty
research
     and provides a dynamic environment for working with students.

     The department is in a strong growth phase, with 19 tenure track
     faculty, and plans to hire several more over the next few years.
The
     department has a large variety of computing resources, and is
     committed to providing the most advanced software and hardware
     environment for both research and teaching.

     WPI, the nation's third oldest college of engineering and science,
     has approximately 2,700 undergraduates and over 1,000 full- and
     part-time graduate students, with over 220 tenure track faculty.
The
     department currently has over one hundred full-time M.S. and Ph.D.
