            Computational & Applied Mathematics Department

  The Department of Computational & Applied Mathematics invites 
applications for tenure-track assistant professorship appointments in 
all areas of mathematical programming, particularly the computational 
aspects of integer programming, combinatorial optimization, and 
interior point methods.  Applicants should demonstrate both breadth 
of interest and promise in research and teaching.  Appointment at more 
senior rank may be possible for exceptional candidates with appropriate 
records of accomplishment.

  Rice University is a private research university with an exceptional
undergraduate population and a long tradition of excellence in 
undergraduate science and engineering education.  The Computational & 
Applied Mathematics Department hosts research programs in Linear and 
Integer Programming, Nonlinear Optimization, Numerical Linear Algebra, 
Parallel Computing, and Numerical Solution, Optimal Design, and Inverse
Problems for Partial Differential Equations.  The department also has 
close ties to the Center for Research in Parallel Computation, an NSF 
Science and Technology Center.
