faculty positions at OGI

[Melanie Mitchell]

Dear Connectionists, 

I wanted to bring to your attention the following advertisement for
faculty recruitment at OGI.  Adaptive systems and machine learning is
one of our specific target areas for hiring.  OGI is putting
significant resources into building a strong and diverse Laboratory
for Adaptive Systems, and we expect to hire between two and four
people in this area within the next five years.  Our recent merger
with the Oregon Health & Science University has opened up great
opportunities for collaboration with researchers in biological and
medical sciences, and our close proximity to the OHSU Neurological
Sciences Institute has already resulted in collaborations between our
respective faculties in the fields of neural modeling and neural
computation.

OGI's current adaptive systems faculty includes:

Dan Hammerstrom: Biologically inspired computation, VLSI chip design,
neural networks

Marwan Jabri: Intelligent signal processing, biologically inspired
control for robotics

Todd Leen: Machine learning, local and mixture models,
neurophysiological modeling

Melanie Mitchell: Evolutionary computation, cognitive science, complex
systems

John Moody (ICSI; joint appointment at OGI): Reinforcement learning,
neural networks, time series analysis, data mining, computational
finance

Misha Pavel: Cognitive science, biologically inspired computation,
biomedical engineering

Xubo Song: Image processing, statistical pattern recognition

Eric Wan: Neural networks, adaptive signal processing and control

We are looking for outstanding individuals in any area of machine
learning or adaptive systems to join our faculty.  Please pass this on
to anyone you think might be interested.

Faculty Positions at the OGI School of Science and Engineering

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering invites
applications for faculty positions at all ranks.  We invite
applications from outstanding candidates in any area of computer
science and engineering.  

The typical teaching load in CSE is 2 graduate-level classes per year.

Following an institutional merger in 2001, the Oregon Graduate
Institute of Science and Technology (OGI) became one of the four
schools of Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU).  The merger is
enabling the CSE department to expand in core disciplines of
computer science and engineering and to establish strong
interdisciplinary collaborations among researchers in computational,
biological, and biomedical sciences.

OGI is located 12 miles west of Portland, Oregon, in the heart of the
Silicon Forest. Portland's extensive high-tech community, diverse
cultural amenities and spectacular natural surroundings combine to
make the quality of life here extraordinary. To learn more about the
department, OGI, OHSU and Portland, please visit http://www.cse.ogi.edu. 

To apply, send a brief description of your research interests, the
names of at least three references, and a curriculum vitae with a list
of publications to:
