Connectionists: opening position in neural computation in Salerno

[Silvia Scarpetta]

OPENING
A two-year  postdoctoral position (Assegno di Ricerca) in Neural Networks / NeuroPhysics starting on next Fall 2005 (around  October, 2005) is available
 at the Dept. of Physics "E.R. Caianiello" of the  Universit degli Studi di Salerno, Italy, in the group headed by Prof. Maria Marinaro 
(http://www.sa.infn.it/NeuralGroup/) 
The monthly net amount of the fellowship is about 1200 Euro.
