Two Cognitive Psychology positions, Univ Calif, Riverside

[Dr. Curt Burgess]

Dear Connectionists - I wanted to particularly let people on this 
list know that we will have two job searches this coming fall. 
Someone doing connectionist work would be of particular interest to a 
number of us in the cognitive group (currently six faculty in 
psychology). We are undergoing considerable growth on our campus. Our 
department will likely almost double in size by 2010. We are 
scheduled to move into a renovated building in two years. We have 
just received word that Psychology will have its own new building in 
2007 or 2008 with around twice the space we currently have.

These two positions are junior level. However, we may also be able to 
hire at the senior level within the  guidelines of a new hiring 
initiative specifically designed to target senior faculty of notable 
reputation. Thus, we are very interested in identifying individuals 
who might be interested in this opportunity.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact either me or 
Chris Chiarello (see below).
