The Department of Computer Science (http://www.cs.uvm.edu/) at UVM announces up to 6 assistantships for PhD studies in 2004-05, in the form of Graduate Research Assistantships (GRAs) and Graduate Teaching Assistantships (GTAs). These assistantships are for incoming students studying towards the PhD degree in Computer Science. The Department offers fields of study in both traditional and interdisciplinary areas such as bioinformatics and ecological modeling. Our faculty is involved in the forefront of research in knowledge and data engineering (such as data mining, database systems, pattern recognition, and knowledge-based systems), software engineering and verification (including programming languages), and computational sciences (comprising computational biology, discrete modeling, and numerical methods).

Our faculty in Computer Science participates in various interdisciplinary research activities involving on-campus entities such as the UVM College of Medicine (http://www.med.uvm.edu), the UVM Bioinformatics Core (http://bioinformatics.uvm.edu/bioinformatics.html) and the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics (http://www.uvm.edu/giee/). We encourage applicants who are interested in and have a strong background in interdisciplinary studies. *Up to 3 (interdisciplinary) GRAs are specially designated for PhD students who will be involved in interdisciplinary areas.*

QUALIFICATIONS:

The successful applicants must possess a Bachelor's degree and show satisfactory test scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) general section. International applicants must submit a TOEFL test score of 600 or higher. Applicants with a BS degree in a field other than Computer Science are especially encouraged to apply for the interdisciplinary GRA positions.
