Connectionists: PhD scholarship

[Marcus Frean]

PhD Scholarship

Victoria University of Wellington is offering a PhD scholarship in the area of 
Intelligent Systems. The scholarship will be worth $NZ 20,000 plus domestic 
fees. Note, the New Zealand government recently announced a scheme under which 
new PhD international students from 2006 only need to pay domestic fees. The 
ideal candidate will have, or be expecting to complete, a strong undergraduate 
degree (honours) or masters in computer science, statistics, or a related 
discipline, with interests in probabilistic machine learning algorithms such as 
graphical models, Gaussian processes, and reinforcement learning.

Informal enquiries can be made to Marcus Frean (marcus at mcs.vuw.ac.nz). General 
information and application forms are available via 
http://www.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/research/ai/

The deadline for applications is 18 July 2005.
