The University of Queensland is planning a major expansion in 
research and teaching in Cognitive Science and anticipates appointing 
two new lecturers subject to availability of funding.  The lecturers 
will be expected to conduct research in an area related to Cognitive 
Science and to teach undergraduate and postgraduate subjects.  We 
prefer individuals with a computational approach to psychological 
or linguistic issues such as decision making, grammar, memory, 
problem solving, semantics, speech perception, vision and other 
cognitive science areas.  One appointee will probably be a neural 
network or connectionist modeller, the other can have any computational 
approach.  One lectureship will be a joint appointment between Psychology 
and Computer Science, the other will be either be in Psychology or a 
joint appointment between Psychology and Linguistics (English).

The University of Queensland is one of the major research universities 
in Australia, and has strong research programs in many areas related 
to Cognitive Science.  Substantial research facilities and support are 
available.

Applicants should have a PhD in a relevant area and should have a record 
of, or show promise of, conducting high quality research.
