This note is to announce the formation of a new collaborative research group: the NPRDC-UCSD Intelligent Systems Group (ISG). ISG is concerned with addressing basic research questions involving intelligent graphical interfaces, computational accounts of cognition, knowledge representation, human machine interaction, and elicitation of expert knowledge. The group has excellent computational facilities. Currently this includes four Symbolics lisp machines, two Xerox Dandy-Tigers, a Xerox Dorado, and arpanet access via central Vax computers. The Institute for Cognitive Science, of which ISG is a member, has a network of 15 SUN workstations and a Vax. A number of post-doctoral fellowships are available for recent cognitive science or artificial intelligence PhDs. Fellowships are for two-years with an option of a third year. Stipend is approximately 30K/year with an additional allowance of 6K for relocation and professional travel. The postdoctoral fellowships come from NPRDC (the Navy Personnel Research and Development Center, San Diego). Fellows will work in ISG on the UCSD campus. Interested applicants should communicate with James D. Hollan or Donald A. Norman, Intelligent Systems Group; Institute for Cognitive Science C-015; University of California, San Diego; La Jolla, CA 92093. Arpanet addresses: hollan@nprdc or norman@nprdc.
