The x-Kernel Research Group at the University of Arizona is seeking
experienced systems programmers to work on a port of the xkernel to
the Mach operating system. This port is being done as part of a
Darpa-sponsored project to use the xkernel as the foundation for
implementing Mach's "Network Server". In addition to re-implementing
the xkernel as a Mach user task, the project will involve implementing
several network protocols---including the Internet protocol suite,
Mach IPC, and various experimental protocols---for use by applications
running on top of Mach. The project also involves a significant
research component, including research into efficient protocol
implementations on multiprocessors.

The available positions offer a unique opportunity...

	o  To contribute to a significant software system that will
	   have an important impact on distributed computing;

	o  To be an integral part of a dynamic research project; and

	o  To live in Tucson.

The ideal candidate would have an MS in Computer Science, experience
writing production-quality code, involvement in a large software project,
a working understanding of network protocols, and some familiarity with
fault-tolerant protocols. Please send a resume and a list of references
(by email is ok) to:

	Professor Larry L. Peterson
	Department of Computer Science
	University of Arizona
	Tucson, AZ 85721
