Introduction
------------
New posts are available in the POPLOG development team, including:
    1. Project Manager  - starting as soon as possible
    2. Prolog System Programmer - starting as soon as possible

POPLOG is a portable, multi-language software  development  environment,
Originally  developed  for  AI,  it  now  has  general  applications. It
provides incremental compilers  for  POP-11,  Prolog  and  Common  Lisp,
integrated  with  a powerful screen editor. It runs on several computers
and operating systems, including VAXes and SUN workstations, and is part
of  the  software  infrastructure  for  the  UK  Science and Engineering
Research Council, and the Alvey Programme.

Poplog Project Manager
Could be a stepping stone to a post of technical director in a  company,
or  a senior university post. Must be able to lead and manage  a team of
able and dedicated programmers, negotiate  contracts etc  with  external
bodies.  Will  work  closely  with  Aaron Sloman, the academic director.
Depending on experience and qualifications, an appointment will be  made
on  either  the  University Range II scale or the Range III scale (up to
17,705 pounds plus superannuation).  Initial contract will be for  three
years, posisbly renewable.

Prolog System Programmer
Required for work on  the  Prolog  compiler  and  tools  for  debugging,
tracing,  mixed-language work, windows, etc. Depending on experience and
qualifications, salary on University Range IA or Range II scale  (up  to
14925 pounds), for two  years.  Must be an experienced Prolog programmer
and know about assembler programming, compilers, etc.

Other posts may shortly be  available,  e.g  additional  programmers  or
technical  authors, and a post on a ESPRIT project concerned with design
of  a  high-performance  multi-language  RISC-based  workstation,   with
special support for Poplog.

All the posts are  based  within  the  Cognitive  Studies  Programme,  a
thriving  interdisciplinary  programme  for  teaching  and  research  in
Artificial Intelligence, Linguistics, Philosophy and Psychology.  A  new
campus-based  AI  company, Cognitive Applications, is closely associated
with the Programme.
