4:            RESEARCH FELLOW, AUTONOMOUS INTELLIGENT AGENTS
Institution:  University of Birmingham, 
              School of Computer Science Location:    
Birmingham, UK
============================================================
Applications are invited from established researchers with a
PhD in AI or Cognitive Science, and solid experience of
Artificial Intelligence programming (preferably Pop-11), for
a three year research fellowship (to start as soon as
possible) working with Professor Aaron Sloman on a project
involving the design of autonomous intelligent agents, in
collaboration with DRA Malvern.

Work at Birmingham within the Cognition and Affect group is
concerned with generic architectures for sophisticated
human-like intelligent agents, including, for example, work
on modelling human motivation, emotional processes, high
level control of attention, etc.

The work at DRA will apply our tools and techniques to
develop simulations of interacting agents for training
commanders. This project is concerned with exploring long
term issues rather than producing a product in three years,
though there should be demonstrable prototypes.

The post is on the Research Grade 1A scale, with starting
salary in the range 13,941 -- 19,326 (Plus superannuation).
Please submit applications as soon as possible. Interviews
will be held soon after the closing date. The post will begin
as soon as possible. Informal enquiries to Prof Aaron Sloman,
