Subject: New PhD program at University of Idaho and Student Fellowships
Date: Tue, 01 Mar 94 11:24:42 -0800
From: Jim Alves-Foss <jimaf@cs.uidaho.edu>


The Department of Computer Science at the University of Idaho is
pleased to announce the availability of three graduate fellowships for
our new PhD program. Each fellowship is for a term of one year, and
requires the recipient to perform teaching assistant duties. Each
position is for the amount of $8,000 dollars for the nine month
academic year.

The fellowships will be awarded competitively; the deadline for
applications is 15 April 1994 for the Fall semester 1994. In view of
the short notice, electronic applications are encouraged; they should
be sent to:

	chair@cs.uidaho.edu.

Acceptable formats are PostScript, LaTeX source (if not dependent on
any non-standard style files), and ascii text. Applications should
include an unofficial undergraduate transcript, GRE scores, and the
names of three persons from whom recommendations are available.
Applications may also be sent by surface mail to:
	
	Department of Computer Science
	University of Idaho
	Moscow, Idaho 83844-1010
	ATTN: TA positions

or by fax: (208) 885-9052.

Notification will be made starting 1 May 1994. Applicants should
concurrently fill out all an application for admission to the
University of Idaho Graduate School and the Department of Computer
Science. Requests for application forms can be sent to:

	Admissions Office
	University of Idaho
	Moscow, Idaho 83843

------------------------------------------------------------------

The department offers BS, MS, and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science.
Two research laboratories exist within the department: the Software
Engineering Test Lab (SETL) and the Laboratory for Applied Logic
(LAL). The mission of the SETL is to test software engineering
methodologies in controlled experimentation.  The mission of the LAL
is to apply formal logic to the construction and verification of
computer systems.  The two labs have a broad base of industrial and
government funding. The Computer Science Department has approximately
50 Unix workstations (HP, Apollo, DEC, and IBM) which are networked to
Internet.  Numerous other college and university workstations and
computer laboratories are available for faculty and student use. Over
the past four years, Hewlett-Packard has donated \$1,000,000 in
computer equipment to further enhance the research and teaching
capability of the department faculty.

Active areas of research within the department include software
engineering methods, computer security and reliability, software
verification, computational complexity and machine learning.  Faculty
members in the department work closely with the NASA Space Engineering
Research Center, established within the UI Electrical Engineering
Department, and the newly formed National Center for Advanced
Transportation Technology housed within the UI College of Engineering.

The University of Idaho is the land-grant university in Idaho and has
statewide responsibility for engineering education.  The main campus
is in Moscow, in the heart of the scenic intermountain northwest,
close to spectacular lakes, wilderness, and skiing.  The campus is
eight miles from Washington State University where cooperative
programs are available with their faculty.  The Computer Science
Department has about 250 undergraduate students, 40 graduate students
and 13 faculty.  About 11,000 students are enrolled on the Moscow
campus.  Branch campuses are located in Boise and Idaho Falls.
