Applications are invited for a Lectureship within  the  Department  of
Computer  Science  and  Applied  Mathematics.  (This  post  is roughly
comparable  to  Assistant  Professor  positions  in  North   America).
Candidates  are expected to have excellent academic qualifications and
a proven record of research. The appointment will be  for  an  initial
period  of  three years, with the possibility of subsequent renewal or
transfer to a continuing appointment.

The successful candidate  will  be  expected  to  make  a  substantial
contribution  to  the  research  activities  of  the  Neural Computing
Research Group. Current research focusses on principled approaches  to
neural   computing,   and   ranges  from  theoretical  foundations  to
industrial and commercial applications.  We  would  be  interested  in
candidates  who  can contribute directly to this research programme or
who can broaden it into related areas, while maintaining the  emphasis
on theoretically well-founded research.

The successful candidate will also be expected to  contribute  to  the
undergraduate and/or postgraduate teaching programmes.
