                       Newark, NJ   07102


Postdoctoral positions are available for recent Ph.D's in
all areas of Cognitive Science (e.g., Neuroscience, Psychology, Computer
Science) interested in pursuing research in the following areas
of learning theory:

      1. COGNITIVE SCIENCE/ADAPTIVE "CONNECTIONIST" NETWORKS:
         Experimental and theoretical (computational) studies of human
         learning and memory.

      2. COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE / COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE:
         Models of the neural bases of learning in animals and humans.

Candidates with any (or all) of the following skills are particular encouraged
to apply: (1) familiarity with neural network algorithms and models, (2) strong
computational/analytic skills, and (3) experience with experimental methods,
experimental design, and data analysis in cognitive psychology.

FACILITIES: The Center is a new state-funded research center for
 the integrated studies of cognitive, behavioral, and molecular neuroscience.
 The Center has good computational resources and experimental laboratories
 for behavioral and neural studies.

LOCATION: The Center is located in Newark, NJ, approximately 20 minutes
 outside of Manhattan, New York (with easy train and subway access to
 midtown and downtown NYC) and close to rural New Jersey countryside
 Numerous other research centers in the cognitive and neural sciences
 are located nearby including: Cognitive Science Center, Rutgers/New Brunswick;
