     POSSIBLE POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS WITH PROFESSOR A. A. J. MARLEY
             Department of Psychology, McGill University

I have funds available for one, possibly two, postdoctoral fellows to
begin working with me as soon as mutually arrangeable, in the first
instance for 12 months, with the strong possibility of extension for a
second 12 months. I am seeking candidates especially in two areas:

1. Mathematical, Simulation, and Experimental Work In Absolute
Identification, Categorization, and Comparative Judgment.

Recently I and my colleagues have developed and tested "neural" and
random walk models in the above areas. We plan to continue this work, and
would especially like to further develop the mathematical aspects of the
models, and to discover "critical" tests of our basic ideas. 

A further possible position exists to work with myself and Yves Lacouture,
who is at Universite Laval. This latter position is especially suited to a
(unilingual or multilingual) French speaker.

2. Characterization Theorems and Stochastic Models in the Mathematical
Social Sciences

This is an interdisciplinary project involving mathematicians,
statisticians, and social scientists. We are developing results
concerning theories of aggregation, characterization of choice models,
entropy approaches in the mathematical social sciences, etc. 

For each of these positions a strong background in mathematics
(mathematical modeling) and/or computer science (computer moodeling) is
extremely important. If you are interested, please send me a vitae,
statement of research interests, and three letters of reference
(preferably all by email or by fax - number below).
