                               DIRECTOR, ICASE
       (INSTITUTE FOR COMPUTER APPLICATIONS IN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING)


    A search is being conducted for  a  Director  for  the  Institute  for
    Computer  Applications  in  Science  and Engineering (ICASE), which is
    co-located with NASA's Langley  Research  Center  (LaRC)  in  Hampton,
    Virginia.   The  Institute  is funded by NASA through the Universities
    Space Research Association (USRA). Since its  establishment  in  1972,
    ICASE  has conducted unclassified basic research in three major areas:
    i) applied and numerical mathematics,  including  numerical  analysis,
    algorithm  development, and multidisciplinary design optimization; ii)
    theoretical,  computational,  and  experimental  research   in   fluid
    mechanics  in  areas  of  interest  to  LaRC,  including acoustics and
    combustion; and iii) applied computer science and parallel computing.

    The Institute helps  promote  cooperative  research  activities  among
    scientists   and   their   institutions,  and  in  addition,  enhances
    communication among researchers in related disciplines by providing an
    academic  setting  within which academic and industrial scientists can
    collaborate with NASA scientists and engineers on problems  of  mutual
    interest.  The institute maintains a small, permanent staff, augmented
    by postdoctoral fellows and visiting scientists from universities  and
    industry.  It has been responsible for introducing several innovations
    in  numerical  analysis  into  computational   aerodynamics   practice
    including  spectral  methods, multigrid methods, and high-order upwind
    schemes.

    Salaries and benefits are competitive and attractive, and will  depend
    on  the  individual's  qualifications.   The  applicant  should  be an
    individual  with  demonstrated  leadership  and  vision,   outstanding
    communications  skills, a proven research record in one or more of the
    research  areas  of  interest  to  the  Institute,  and   a   thorough
    understanding of research management.

    Apply no later than  30  June  1995.   An  application,  containing  a
    complete   resume   on  academic,  professional,  and  personal  data,
    including three references, should be sent to:

        W. D. Cummings,
        Executive Director,
        Universities Space Research Association,
        The American City Building, Suite 212,
        Columbia, MD 21044.

    The Universities Space Research Association is  an  Equal  Opportunity
    Employer.
