The  College of Science and Technology at Temple University is in the

positions  as part of a major expansion.  As part of this  expansion,
the  College has formed a Center for Information Science & Technology
to  promote  interdisciplinary  information  science  and  technology
research   within   all  applicable  domains.  The  College   invites
applications  for  multiple  positions  in  Information   Science   &
Technology at the level of Full, Associate, or Assistant Professor in
the  Center.  Newly hired faculty in the Center will be given  tenure
track  appointments in the interdisciplinary department  of  Computer
and Information Sciences.  Successful candidates are expected to have
or  be  able to develop significant research programs and to  provide
effective  instruction at both undergraduate and graduate  levels  in
Information  Science & Technology. Appointments are possible  at  all
academic  levels  appropriate  to  experience.   Candidates  for  the
position   of  Director  and  senior  faculty  positions  must   have
internationally  known  research  programs,  funding  in  Information
Science & Technology, and possess a strong commitment to the teaching
of undergraduate and graduate students.  In addition, the Director of
the   Center   for  Information  Science  &  Technology   will   have
demonstrated leadership ability to expand grant-supported research by

component-based  software engineering, and data mining,  warehousing,
and  filtering. We especially encourage applications from  candidates
whose  research  is interdisciplinary in nature.   Salaries  for  new
