Research Fellowship in Neural Networks:

         Investigation of Digitally Implemented Neural Networks
               Based on Novel Goal-Seeking Principles

                 UNIVERSITY OF KENT AT CANTERBURY
               Electronic Engineering Laboratories

Applications are invited for a Research Fellowship in the Electronic
Engineering Laboratories at the University of Kent to work on an
SERC-funded project on digitally implemented neural networks.
The project, part of an on-going programme of work in neural networks,
will investigate the properties and applications of novel artificial
neural networks based on Boolean processing nodes and embodying local
low-level goal-seeking principles.

Applicants should have a good Honours degree in electronic engineering
or computer science/engineering and should preferably hold a Ph.D. degree
in an appropriate area.  Applicants with previous experience in the field
of neural networks or image analysis would be especially welcome.

The Digital Systems Research Group in the Electronic Engineering Laboratories
have a very strong research programme in computational architectures for
pattern processing, with a particular emphasis on neural network
architectures.  Extensive facilities to support this work are available, 
including both central and in-house computing systems, and a dedicated
workstation will be available for this project.  Technician
support will also be provided.

The appointment is for a three year period and is available from
1st January 1992.  The salary is on the scale 11969 - 14170 pounds.
informal enquiries may be made to Dr. Michael Fairhurst or
Dr. David Bisset on  +44 227-764000, or by e-mail to dlb at ukc.ac.uk
