The Department of Psychology intends to make an appointment at the assistant professor level in one of the following areas: neuroethology, animal behavior, animal learning, or biopsychology of motivation or learning. Individuals whose research combines more than one of these areas would be especially attractive. We seek candidates with demonstrated excellence in research and teaching. They should submit a vita, reprints and preprints, and a statement of research interests and teaching competence; they should also arrrange for 3 letters of recommendation to be sent. All materials should be sent by December 3, 1990 to Search Committee A, Department of Psychology, University of Pennsylvania, 3815 Walnut St., Philadelphia, PA l9l04-6196.

This program offers an intergrated curriculum offering the full range of psychological, neurobiological, and computational concepts, models, and methods in the broad field variously called neural networks, connectionism, parallel distributed processing, and biological information processing, in which Boston University is a leader. Candidates should have extensive analytic or computational research experience in modelling a broad range of nonlinear neural networks, especially in one or more of the areas: vision and image processing, speech and language processing, adaptive pattern recognition, cognitive information processing, and adaptive sensory-motor control Candidates for associate professor should have an international reputation in neural network modelling. Send a complete curriculum vitae and three letters of recommendation to Search Committee, Cognitive and Neural Systems Program, Room 240, 111 Cummington Street, Boston University, Boston, MA 02215, preferably by November 15, 1990 but no later than January 1, 1991.

Post 1 (3 years, based at Department of Psychology, St Andrews University) will involve developing fresh perspectives on the neural modelling of visual word recognition from human experimentation. The data from these experiments will form the basis for the computational modelling in the project. Applicants should have experience in human experimentation in cognitive science or perceptual research, be well acquainted with the use of computers in experimentation, and have some knowledge of neural network research. Post 2 (2 years, based at Centre for Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience, Stirling University) will involve setting up and developing a new computational model of visual word recognition which combines the findings from St Andrews with fresh perspectives on neurocomputational processing. Applicants should have experience or interest in neural computation/connectionism and have a background in one or more of the following: computing science, psychology, mathematics, physics. Starting salary for each post will be on the 1A scale for research staff (up to UK pounds 18165 pa). Both posts are scheduled to start as soon as possible in 1991. Application forms and further particulars for both posts can be obtained from The Director of Personnel Services, College Gate, St Andrews University, St Andrews, Fife, KY16 9AJ,,UK to whom completed applications forms together with a CV should be submitted to arrive no later than November 30th 1990.

Students must be admitted to, and be members of, some home department. The Cognitive Science Program at Indiana University has a core faculty of 45 professors, supports research activities in numerous areas, publishes a research report series, sponsors a colloquium series, and offers fellowships and assistantships to qualified applicants. A brochure describing the program and admission procedures is available from, and inquiries and requests for information may be directed to, Richard M. Shiffrin, Director Cognitive Science Program Psychology Department Indiana University Bloomington, IN 47405 E-mail: IUCOGSCI@UCS.INDIANA.EDU (Please don't use your e-mail "reply" command, but instead direct inquiries directly to the addresses above.) ------------------------------ From: gpg@unssun.nevada.edu (G.
