Postdoctoral position at Bellcore

[Joshua Alspector]

The neural network research group at Bellcore is looking for a post-doctoral
researcher for a period of 1 year.  The start date is flexible but
should be before August, 1992.

Because of its inherently parallel nature, neural network technology is
particularly suited for the types of real-time computation needed
in telecommunications.  This includes data compression, signal processing,
optimization, and speech and pattern recognition.  Neural network training
is also suitable for knowledge-based systems where the rules are not known
or where there are too many rules to incorporate in an expert system.
The goal of our group is to bring neural network technology into
the telecommunications network.

Our approach to developing and using neural network technology
to encode knowledge by learning includes work on the following:
1) Development, analysis, and simulation of learning algorithms
   and architectures.
2) Design and fabrication of prototype chips and boards suitable for
   parallel, high-speed, neural systems.
3) Telecommunications applications.

We are interested in strong candidates in any of the above work areas
but are especially encouraging people who can demonstrate the
usefulness of the technology in telecommunications applications.

The successful candidate should have a demonstrated record of
accomplishment in neural network research, should be proficient at working
in a UNIX/C environment, and should be able to work interactively
in the applied research area at Bellcore.
