Certification of Neural Networks

8 month post at the University of York, UK.

Applications are invited for a Research Assistant to  inves-
tigate the problems of using neural networks in safety crit-
ical systems. The aim of the work is to find  out  what  the
limitations  are when using neural networks in such systems,
and to suggest ways in which they may be overcome. The  work
will  be  of interest to people who wish to study the way in
which neural networks learn and their subsequent behaviour.

The post is open to individuals who have a good  theoretical
knowledge  of  neural  networks  or experience in safety and
certification issues. Because some simulation work  will  be
undertaken,  knowledge  of C and UNIX would be an advantage.
Preference will be given to candidates who hold a PhD  which
involved neural networks.

The candidate will join a major group of researchers working
in  the  area  of neural networks. The group is supported by
high quality computing resources and technical personnel.

The post is supported by the EPSRC and  is  funded,  in  the
first  instance,  for  8  months.  The salary will be in the
range 13,941 to 17,813 PA (UK pounds).

Four copies of a letter of application with full  curriculum
vitae,  including  the names of two referees, should be sent
as soon as possible to Gary Morgan (address as below).  More
information  on the post can be obtained from Dr. Jim Austin
(01904 432734, austin at minster.york.ac.uk) or Dr. Gary Morgan
(01904 432739, gary at minster.york.ac.uk).
