Position available

[janetw@cs.uq.oz.au]

The following advert is for a position in the Department of 
Computer Science, at the University of Queensland, at the 
highest level of the academic scale.  It is open to any area 
of computing, and hence may interest researchers in cognitive 
science and/or neural networks. 

UQ has a strong inter-disciplinary cognitive science program
between the departments of computer science, psychology, linguistics 
and philosophy, and neural network research groups in computer 
science, psychology and engineering.

The University is one of the best in Australia, and Brisbane has a 
delightful climate, situated on the coastal plain between the
mountains and the sea.

Inquiries can be directed to Professor Andrew Lister, as mentioned
below, or I am happy to answer informal questions about the Department,
University or other aspects of academic life in Brisbane.
