      Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh

                        Announce the Creation of

             the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition


The Center is dedicated to the study of the neural basis of cognitive
processes, including learning and memory, language and thought,
perception, attention, and planning; to the study of the development
of the neural substrate of these processes; to the study of disorders
of these processes and their underlying neuropathology; and to the
promotion of applications of the results of these studies to artificial 
intelligence, technology, and medicine.  The Center will synthesize the 
disciplines of basic and clinical neuroscience, cognitive psychology, 
and computer science, combining neurobiological, behavioral, computa-
tional and brain imaging methods.

                     Faculty Openings in the Center


The Center seeks faculty and research scientists whose work relates to
the mission stated above.  Recruiting is beginning immediately, and
will continue for several years.  Appointments can be at any level and
will be coordinated with one or more departments at either university.

Coordinating departments include Biological Sciences, Computer Science, 
and Psychology at Carnegie Mellon and the departments of Behavioral 
Neuroscience, Neurobiology, Neurology, Psychiatry and Psychology at the 
University of Pittsburgh.  Other affiliations may be possible.

Candidates should send an application to either of the Co-Directors of
the Center, listed below.  The application should include a statement
of interest indicating how the candidate's work fits the mission of the 
center and suggesting possible departmental affiliations, as well as a
