		     PRELIMINARY JOB ANNOUNCEMENT

      VACANCIES FOR RESEARCH ASSOCIATES IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS:

	     SOFTWARE ENGINEERING FOR DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS
				  &
	     DISTRIBUTED MULTIMEDIA AND REAL-TIME SYSTEMS


The Department of Computer Science of the University of Cyprus intends
to officially announce shortly (within the next three months) a number
of new positions for  Research Associates within the research projects
BETSY   ("BEing  on Time   Saves   EnergY")  and  MADAM (Mobility  and
ADaptation enAbling Middleware"), to be funded by IST of FP6.

The positions are initially for one (1) year  renewable annually up to
the end of the   projects (each project  will run  for  a total of  30
months).  The annual salary for a Research  Associate starts at the A8
scale (about CY # 9,000 initially, but the exact amount will depend on
qualifications  and prior experience).  [At  present CY #1 = 1.7 EUROs
and CY #1 = 2 US dollars, approximately.]

Project   BETSY  will develop  the   required infrastructure needed by
handheld devices to  support continuous multimedia streaming.  Project
MADAM  will provide  software  engineers with  the required  modelling
language   extensions, tools and  middleware  for  the development  of
innovative mobile-based applications.

A suitable  candidate for   the above positions  should have   a first
degree   in Computer  Science  and,  preferably,  also a  sufficiently
specialised   postgraduare degree.  S/He should  also  be at ease with
programming in large scale software projects. The specialisation areas
for  the first project are: real-time   systems, embedded systems, QoS
requirements,  multimedia systems; and    for the second project  are:
middleware   platforms,   mobile       computing,  MDA   (model-driven
architectures).

Applicants need not  be citizens of the  Republic of Cyprus. Knowledge
of the Greek  language, although considered  a practical advantage, is
by no  means  a requirement.   The research activities  pursued by the
successful applicants can lead to  the earning of  a Ph.D.  if they so
wish (in this case, any academic fees for enroling to the Department's
Ph.D. programme are waived). Due to the  involvement of the successful
candidates in  using cutting edge technologies,   these posts are also
suitable for a post doc.

Anyone interested in these forthcoming vacancies and planning to apply
when  they are  formally  announced,  is kindly  asked  to contact  us
(preferably electronically)  as soon as possible at  the address below
and provide  us with a CV  together with a short  description of their
research interests and background.  Submitted documents may be written
in  Greek and/or  English.  Please  send all  relevant  information to
