Graduate assistantships available

I am looking for a few Ph.D students. The Ph.D program of the Cognitive Science department at RPI is accepting applications. Graduate assistantships and other forms of financial support for graduate students are available. Prospective graduate students with interests in Cognitive Science, especially in learning and skill acquisition and in the relation between cognition and sociality, are encouraged to apply. Prospective applicants should have background in computer science (the equivalent of a BS in computer science), and have some prior exposure to artificial intelligence, connectionist models (neural networks), multi-agent systems, and other related areas. Students with a Master's degree already completed are preferred. RPI is a top-tier research university. This new department has identified the Ph.D program and research as its primary missions. The department is conducting research in a number of areas: computational cognitive modeling, human and machine learning, multi-agent interactions, neural networks and connectionist models, human and machine reasoning, artificial intelligence, cognitive engineering, and so on. See the Web page below regarding my research: http://wwww.cogsci.rpi.edu/~rsun For the application procedure, see http://www.cogsci.rpi.edu/ The application deadline is Jan.15, 2004. If you decide to apply, follow the official procedure as outlined on the Web page. Send me a short email (in plain text, ASCII) after you have completed the application. =================================================================== Professor Ron Sun Cognitive Science Department Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute 110 Eighth Street, Carnegie 302A Troy, NY 12180, USA phone: 518-276-3409 fax: 518-276-8268 email: rsun(a)rpi.edu web: http://www.cogsci.rpi.edu/~rsun ===================================================================
