    Research Assistant in Neural and Intelligent Systems

    (reference number CIRG28)

    Applications are invited for a three year research assistant position in the School of Computing and Information Systems investigating the development of hybrid neural/symbolic techniques for intelligent processing. This is an exciting new project which aims at developing new environments for integrating neural networks and symbolic processing. You will play a key role in the development of such hybrid subsymbolic/symbolic environments. It is intended to apply the developed hybrid environments in areas such as natural language processing, intelligent information extraction, or the integration of speech/language in multimedia applications.

    You should have a degree in a computing discipline and will be able to register for a higher degree. A demonstrated interest in artificial neural networks, software engineering skills and programming experience are essential (preferably including a subset of C, C++, CommonLisp, Java, GUI). Experience and interest in neural network software and simulators would be an advantage (e.g. Planet, SNNS, Tlearn, Matlab, etc). Salary is according to the researcher A scale (currently up to #13,871, under revision).

    Application forms and further particulars are available from the Personnel department under +44 191 515 and extensions 2055, 2429, 2054, 2046, or 2425 or E-Mail employee.recruitmentsunderland.ac.uk quoting the reference number CIRG28.
