                   LECTURER IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
                   IN THE SCHOOL OF COGNITIVE SCIENCES
                 UNIVERSITY OF SUSSEX, BRIGHTON, ENGLAND

Applications  are  invited  for  the  post  of  lecturer  in  Artificial
Intelligence in the new School of Cognitive Sciences from October  1988.

This is a new post, in accordance with the University's plan for  growth
in the Sussex  AI group,  one of  the largest AI  groups in  the UK.  It
offers an  undergraduate major  in Computing  and AI,  a conversion  MSc
course in Knowledge Based Systems, and research training for M.Phil  and
D.Phil  degrees.  Research  and  teaching  in  AI  are  supported   by a
substantial collection  of Unix-based  computers, including  a  VAX-750,
Orion1/05, a network of HP9000 workstations, a large and growing network
of Suns, and a Sequent Symmetry multiprocessor system.

Preference will  be  given  to  applicants  with  expertise  in  applied
Artificial Intelligence, though applicants from all areas of AI will  be
considered.

Applied AI will be  interpreted broadly, e.g.  including all aspects  of
work on  expert  systems,  including  knowledge  acquisition,  knowledge
representation,  rule   induction,   planning,  theorem   proving,   the
human-machine interface  and user  modelling, computer  based  teaching,
automatic  program   synthesis   or  verification,   AI   and   software
engineering, AI and CAD, or tools for AI.

It  is  desirable,  though  not   essential,  for  applicants  to   have
qualifications in computer science.

The successful  applicant  will be  expected  to  play a  full  role  in
teaching at  undergraduate  and postgraduate  level,  and to  carry  out
research.

Initial salary will be  in the lower part  of the Lecturer salary  scale
(currently 9,260  to  14,500  pounds  per  annum,  under  review),  plus
membership  of  the  Universities  Superannuation  Scheme  or  Federated
Superannuation System for Universities, as appropriate.
