    POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN NEURAL NETWORK MODELS AND APPLICATIONS

            PHYSICS DEPARTMENT, UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH


Applications are invited for a postdoctoral reasearch position in the
Physics Department, University of Edinburgh funded by a Science and
Engineering Research Council grant to David Wallace and Alastair Bruce. 
The position is for two years, from October 1991. 

The group's interests span theoretical and computational studies of
training algorithms, generalisation, dynamical behaviour and
optimisation.  Theoretical techniques utilise statistical mechanics and
dynamical systems.  Computational facilities include a range of systems
in Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre, including a 400-node 1.8Gbyte
transputer system, a 64-node 1Gbyte Meiko i860 machine and AMT DAPs, as
well as workstations and graphics facilities. 

There are strong links with researchers in other departments, including
David Willshaw and Keith Stenning (Cognitive Science), Richard Rohwer
(Speech Technology), Alan Murray (Electrical Engineering) and Michael
Morgan and Richard Morris (Pharmacology), and we are in two European
Community Twinnings.  Industrial collaborations have included
applications with British Gas, British Petroleum, British Telecom,
National Westminster Bank and Shell. 

Applications supported by a cv and two letters of reference should be
sent to
