Job Opportunity at Stanford University

[Dave Rumelhart]

        The Psychology Department at Stanford University currently has
two job openings at least one of which may be appropriate for a
connectionist.  I enclose a copy of the advertisement which appeared in
several publications.  If you feel you may  be appropriate or know of
someone who may be appropriate please apply for the position.  Note from
the ad that we are open to people at any level and with a variety of
interests.  This means, in short, we are interested in the best person
we can attract within reasonably broad guidelines.  I personally hope
that this person has connectionist interests.
