Connectionist Faculty Position at Boulder

[Paul Smolensky]

The Institute for Cognitive Science at the University of Colorado,
Boulder has an opening for which connectionists are invited to apply.
As you can see from the official ad below, applications in another field 
are also being invited.  However, should this year's position go to
a non-connectionist, we expect another position next year and a search
will be held specifically for a connectionist.

We would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have...
Paul Smolensky & Mike Mozer

		Faculty Position in Cognitive Science

The Institute of Cognitive Science at the University of Colorado at Boulder 
invites applications for a tenured/tenure-track position, either in the area 
of connectionism or in the area of knowledge-based systems or cooperative 
problem solving. The position is open as to rank. An important selection 
criterion will be the candidate's potential to contribute to the Institute's 
interdisciplinary missions in research, teaching, and service. Candidates in 
the connectionist area should have demonstrated ability to contribute to 
connectionist theory as well as connectionist approaches to cognitive 
science. Candidates in the knowledge based systems or cooperative 
problem solving area should have an interest in large scale system 
building efforts and software technologies and tools. The position will be 
housed in an appropriate academic department associated with the 
Institute of Cognitive Science (e.g., Computer Science, Linguistics, 
Philosophy, or Psychology). A resume and three letters of reference should 
be sent to: Dr. Martha Polson, Assistant Director, Institute of Cognitive 
Science, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado, 80309-0345 by January 
18, 1990.

The University of Colorado at Boulder has a strong commitment to the 
principle of diversity in all areas. In that spirit, we are particularly 
interested in receiving applications from a broad spectrum of people, 
including women, members of ethnic minorities and disabled individuals.
