Connectionists: Ph.D program in Cognitive Science 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 cognitive architectures and in the relationship between  
cognition
and sociality (social simulation), are encouraged to apply.  Prospective
applicants should have sufficient background in computer science  
(close to
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.  The 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, cognitive architectures, 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.

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