  computation, and (2) supervised and unsupervised neural nets.  
 
  We offer research positions at various levels (beginning now):
 
  1. 1 postdoc or up to 2 PhD students,
 
  2. A few undergrad students.
 
  The initial contracts will last until the end of this year,
  with a possible extension of 2 more years.  Temporary visits 
  (for a few months) by visiting researchers/students are also 
  possible. 
 
  Send CV, list of publications (if applicable), brief statement of 
  research interests, and names/email addresses of references to:
