Cognitive Science Ph.D program at RPI

[Professor Ron Sun]

I am looking for a few Ph.D students.
 

The Ph.D program of the Cognitive Science department at RPI is accepting
applications. Graduate assistantships and other forms of financial
support for graduate students are available.
 

Prospective graduate students with interests in Cognitive Science,
especially in  learning and skill acquisition and in the relationship
between cognition and sociality, are encouraged to apply.  Prospective
applicants should have background in computer science (the equivalent
of a BS in computer science), and have some prior exposure to 
psychology, artificial
intelligence, connectionist models (neural networks), multi-agent
systems, and other related areas.  Students with a Master's degree
already completed are preferred.
 

RPI is a top-tier research university.  This new CogSci department has
identified the Ph.D program and research as its primary missions. The
department is conducting  research in a number of areas:
cognitive modeling, human and machine learning, multi-agent interactions
and social simulation, neural networks and connectionist models,  human
and machine reasoning, cognitive engineering, and so on.
 

See the Web page below regarding my research:

For the application procedure, see
   http://www.cogsci.rpi.edu/
The application deadline is Jan.15, 2005.
 

If you decide to apply, follow the official procedure as outlined on
the Web page. Send me a short email (in plain text, ASCII) AFTER you
have completed the application.
