Sussex University is a centre for research and teaching in AI
with a wide range of inter-disciplinary research projects
including speech, vision, natural language, expert systems and
program development environments. Computing facilities include a
network of Sun workstations, VAXes and a GEC-63. There is also a
new campus-based AI company, Cognitive Applications. Positions
are available on Alvey and ESPRIT projects including POPLOG
development.

techniques for remotely sensed images using POPLOG on a Sun-3
Colour workstation. The project is part of an Alvey consortium
led by Systems Designers in collaboration with the Natural
Environment Research Council.
2. Logic Programming Environments Research Fellow (2 years)
To work with Dr Allan Ramsay on a collaborative Alvey project to
design an advanced programming environment to support the
development of Prolog programs.
3. Site Manager
Experienced UNIX programmer to help manage a network of computers
and workstations used for AI research and development.
POPLOG posts
------------
POPLOG is a machine-independent software development environment
including incremental compilers for POP-11, Prolog and Common
Lisp, and a powerful screen editor.
1. POPLOG project manager (3 years initially)
A challenging post managing a design and development team, in
close collaboration with Professor Sloman and AI researchers at
Sussex University.
2. PROLOG system programmer (2 years initially)
To work on the Prolog subsystem of Poplog, including improving
performance of the compiler, integration with the screen editor
and other Prolog development aids.
3. POPLOG system programmer for ESPRIT workstation project

An experienced system programmer interested in compiler design
and microcode, to work on an ESPRIT project involving an advanced
high performance multi-language workstation supporting POPLOG.
All posts start as soon as possible. Research appointments and
the position of site manager will be on Range 1A scale
(7250-12150, under review). POPLOG appointments will be on Range
1A or Range II (11,205 - 14,925, under review) depending on age
