limited term faculty jobs at Toronto

[Geoffrey Hinton]

LIMITED TERM FACULTY POSITIONS AVAILABLE AT TORONTO

The Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto has two or
three limited term faculty positions available.  Appointments will be for 2 or
3 years and will not be renewed as these are NOT tenure-track jobs.  The
teaching load is approximately 4 hours of lectures per week for both
semesters.  Applications are invited from all areas of Computer Science. The
needs of the Department would be well fitted by an applicant who can teach
numerical analysis and does research on neural networks, especially learning
algorithms, time series prediction, or image interpretation.

The neural networks group in the department currently consists of Geoff
Hinton, Peter Dayan, Mike Revow, Drew van Camp and eight graduate students
(Tony Plate, Radford Neal, Chris Williams, Evan Steeg, Sid Fels, Ed Rasmussen,
Brendan Frey and Sageeve Oore). We have close ties with other researchers in
computer vision, statistics, and psychology.  We have our own Silicon Graphics
multiprocessor containing four R4400 chips.

Applicants from the area of neural networks should send their applications to
