Thanks, Pietro. This looks good. My one suggestion is to change the sentence
“We are seeking candidates in the broad area of intelligent information systems…” to “We are seeking candidates in the broad area of information systems…” It’s a single word change, simply removing the first reference to intelligence. AI is included in the list that follows this phrase. Including the reference to intelligence here also may discourage the non-AI types (e.g., someone working on signal processing but not signal processing for AI or AI for signal processing) from applying.
