***  Full details at http://www.ncrg.aston.ac.uk/  ***

The Neural Computing Research Group at Aston is looking for a highly
motivated individual for a 2 year postdoctoral research position in
the area of `Irregular Gallager-type error-correcting codes - a
statistical mechanics perspective'. The emphasis of the research will
be on applying theoretical and numerical methods to study the
properties of Gallager-type error-correcting codes, with the aim of
systematically identifying optimal constructions of this type.

Potential candidates should have strong mathematical and computational
skills, with a background in statistical physics and/or error-correcting
codes.

Conditions of Service
---------------------

Salaries will be up to point 6 on the RA 1A scale, currently
18,185 UK pounds. The salary scale is subject to annual increments.
