Applications are invited for two Lectureships within the Department
of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics. (These posts are roughly 
comparable to Assistant Professor positions in North America).
Candidates are expected to have excellent academic qualifications and 
a proven record of research. The appointments will be for an initial 
period of three years, with the possibility of subsequent renewal or 
transfer to a continuing appointment.  

Successful candidates will be expected to make a substantial contribution 
to the research activities of the Group in the area of neural computing, 
or a related area concerned with advanced information processing. Current research activity focusses on principled approaches to neural computing, 
and ranges from theoretical foundations to industrial and commercial applications. We would be interested in candidates who can contribute 
directly to this research programme or who can broaden it into related 
areas, while maintaining the emphasis on theoretically well-founded research.

The successful candidates will also be expected to contribute to the undergraduate and/or postgraduate teaching programmes.
