	Space Grant Fellowships for New Graduate Students
                     Oregon State University

The Computer Science Department at Oregon State University has the
opportunity to nominate interested incoming graduate students for
support under an Oregon Space Grant Fellowship.  Students who are
selected for these one year fellowships will receive approximately
$14,000 in support plus a tuition waiver.  These fellowships are part
of a national program intended to increase the number of U.S.
scientists and engineers available for careers in aerospace and
related fields.  You will be expected to participate in Computer
Science research in one of the areas identified below during your
first year, and you must be a U.S. citizen.  Our research areas
relevant to the Space Grant Program include:
        programming languages and systems
        artificial intelligence
        software engineering
        real-time systems
        algorithm analysis
        parallel computing
        software tools for parallel scientific programming
        design of user interfaces for technical programmers

To apply
- --------
We are recruiting students interested in this opportunity.  The
application process for such a fellowship is quite simple: express an
interest in the fellowship by sending e-mail to Bernie Feyerherm
(bernie@cs.orst.edu) by February 1, mention the area(s) of interest to
you, and apply to our graduate school in the usual way.  In your
e-mail, please let us know your GRE scores, gradepoint, and
background in Computer Science.

About Oregon State University's Computer Science Department

The Department of Computer Science is an active, pioneering group.
The faculty includes 15 Ph.D.s who are enrolled in research and
graduate instruction.  3 of our faculty have been named
NSF/Presidential Young Investigators by the National Science
Foundation.  Approximately 75 graduate students and 325 undergraduate
students are enrolled.  We have excellent laboratory and equipment
facilities, and have been the recipient of a number of research,
equipment, and software grants from our industrial friends and
sponsors and from the National Science Foundation and NASA.

Our section of Oregon ranks eighth in the country in computer-related
industry.  We have strong ties with several companies in the area,
including Tektronix, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Sequent, and Intel.
Corvallis, home of Oregon State University, is located in the
Willamette Valley between the Cascade Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.
The city of 42,000 is about 85 miles south of the metropolitan area of
Portland, 50 miles from the scenic Oregon coast, and 80 miles west of
the beautiful Cascade Mountains.  Outdoor activities such as fishing,
camping, skiing, and hiking are within easy driving distance.  The
