Hi, This has just been announced! To support the launch of our new "Professional Pathway" undergraduate degrees, we have 4 PhD studentships at the School of Informatics, City University, London, UK that we would like to fill ASAP. The expected date of enrollment is the beginning of Oct 2000. AI research at City covers a wide range of interests, e.g. - Multi Agent Systems - Neural Networks - Data Mining - Intelligent Optimisation and Evolutionary Computing - Genetic Programming - Logic Programming and Constraints - Bioinformatics - Music and Creativity Non-AI research strengths at City include: systems architecture (eg. high performance adaptive databases), software reliability, requirements engineering, HCI, software engineering, and programming languages. Details of research at City can be found at: http://www.soi.city.ac.uk/ These studentships are open to UK, EU, and overseas students. Each studentship will be offered for three years subject to satisfactory progress. The value of the studentship is an annual stipend of 8,500 pounds in 2000/1 plus fees paid. Students will be *required* to undertake demonstrating/marking of up to 6 hours per week. This approximates to around 1,500-2,000 pounds per annum depending on the duties undertaken. This will be paid in addition to the studentship. These places are funded to support the launch of our new Professional Pathway degree courses. Professional Pathway is a new and innovative mode of course delivery that provides City's IT undergraduates with workplace learning and e-learning within their course. City's well-established courses in Informatics will be offered in this new mode of study from autumn 2000. With Professional Pathway, IT undergraduates transfer to relevant employment after one year of full-time study and complete their degrees by a combination of day-release and e-learning over up to three more years. For further details see: http://www.soi.city.ac.uk/liaison/liaison.html Again please contact me if interested. They'll be snapped up soon so I would RSVP ASAP...:-) Dr Andrew Tuson MA(Oxon) MSc(Edin) PhD(Edin) GRSC ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Lecturer, Department of Computing, City University, London, UK.
