POST DOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE
NEURAL NETWORK THEORY
Department of Computer Science
University of Manchester

Applications are invited for a post-doctoral research position in neural
network theory in the computer science department at the University of 
Manchester. This SERC funded position is concerned with developing methods of
predicting neural network performance, including generalisation performance and
functionality. The post is tenable for up to three years, starting any time 
between October 1, 1990 and April 1, 1991. Salary range is between 11,399 pounds
and 18,165 pounds according to qualifications and experience. 
Postgraduate experience in any theoretical aspect of neural networks is 
desirable, as is demonstrated mathematical ability. 

Applications and/or informal inquiries should be sent to Jonathan Shapiro,
Department of Computer Science, The University, Manchester M13 9PL. United
Kingdom. Informal inquiries can be made by phone (061 275 6253) or email 
(jls at uk.ac.man.cs.m1 within the U.K. and jls%m1.cs.man.ac.uk at nsfnet-relay 
via internet). 

The University of Manchester is the oldest and one of the largest computer 
science department in Britain. Other neural network research at Manchester
includes: ex-Static - a project to build a simulator for the design of 
massively parallel neural computing hardware (in collaboration with a group
at Cambridge); a collaboration between theoretical physicists and psychologists
to model memory experiments; work on image processing applications in medical 
biophysics; and secondary protein structure prediction. In addition, Manchester
has been established as one of three national Novel Architecture Computing
Centers, which means that a large collection of parallel hardware is or will
be available.
