		LECTURESHIP IN COGNITIVE SCIENCE
		  University of Sheffield, UK.

Applications are invited for the above post tenable from 1st October 1993
for three years in the first instance but with expectation of renewal.
Preference will be given to candidates with a PhD in Cognitive Science,
Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Psychology, Computer Science, Robotics,
or related disciplines.

The Cognitive Science degree is an integrated course taught by the departments
of Psychology and Computer Science. Research in Cognitive Science was highly
evaluated in the recent UFC research evaluation exercise, special areas of interest being vision, speech, language, neural networks, and learning. The
successful candidate will be expected to undertake research vigorously.
Supervision of programming projects will be required, hence considerable 
experience with Lisp, Prolog, and/or C is essential.

It is expected that the appointment will be made on the Lecturer A scale
(13,400-18,576 pounds(uk) p.a.) according to age and experience but enquiries
from more experienced staff able to bring research resources are welcomed.
