RESEARCH POSITION AVAILABLE

The NEC Research Institute of Princeton, NJ is seeking candidates for
research positions in the area of Parallel Processing Architectures. Of 
particular interest are candidates who have a broad architecture view, who 
have a new vision for future original architectures and who are able to 
purse an independent research program, including the establishing of a lab 
and prototype construction to demonstrate new ideas. Original proposals for 
parallel architectures, addressing some of the following issues, are 
required:


-  CPU architectures for parallel processing.
-  Parallel interconnection networks and switching elements.
-  Aspects of routing VLSI implementation for parallel processing networks,
-  Trends of future technologies (optical interconnections, VLSI, memory) 
-  impact on new parallel architectures.
-  Parallel programming environments (e.g., PCN, PVM).
-  Parallel programming languages (e.g., HPF).
-  Parallel applications and their match with architectures.
-  Parallel OS (e.g., Micro-Kernels, Nano-Kernels).


The emphasis is on a broad view, not on a narrow, limited research program.
The successful candidate should have a working experience in hardware
(building prototypes, VLSI design, high speed electronics), and not only
deal with the theoretical aspects of parallel processing (e.g. simulations,
theorem proving).


The NEC Research Institute, founded in 1988, conducts long-term basic
research in the sciences underlining future technologies of computers
and communications (C\&C). The goal of the Institute is to make
fundamental contributions to the computing and physical sciences basic
to the processing and interpretation of information. The Institute's
parent company is NEC Corporation, a global leader in computers,
communications, electronics and information services. On May 2, 1990,
the NEC Research Institute dedicated its $30 million new facilities on
a twenty-one acre site in the Princeton area. This region was selected
because of its tradition of basic research and invention.
The Institute supports the belief that research results should be
available in the open literature and therefore emulates the liberal
publication policies of universities. Scientists at the NEC Research
Institute seek to expand the base of scientific knowledge and enhance
mutual understanding among the people of all nations. 


Candidates should have a RECENT RESEARCH ACTIVITY demonstrating their
role in the above topics and have a LAB. WORKING EXPERIENCE with 
instrumentation and measurement equipment. A Ph.D. degree (or a very near 
completion of one) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or Electrical 
Engineering is needed for this position.   


NEC Research Institute is an equal opportunity employer.
Applicants must show documentation of eligibility for employment. 
Interested applicants are kindly invited to send their resumes, few recent
papers and arrange for three letters of references to be sent DIRECTLY to:
