		Sheffield Computer Science Department is a HEFCE
		Grade 4 rated research department, within one of the
		UK's major Engineering Faculties. The department seeks
		to recruit postgraduate students to start in
		September 1997 in its principal areas of
		research, conventionally divide into three
		large research groups. Successful applicants will work
		towards an M.Phil or Ph.D within research teams working in
		the following areas:

	Artificial Intelligence and Neural Networks (AINN)
		Natural Language Processing,
		Knowledge and belief representation,
		Computer Graphics,
		Intelligent Tutoring Systems,
		Computer Argumentation,
		Multimedia and Human-Computer Interaction,
		Robotics,
		Connectionist Natural language processing,
		Neural Nets: Theory, analysis and applications.
	Speech and Hearing (SpandH)
		Computational Models of Hearing,
		Speech Technology.
	Correct Systems (CSRG)
		Theory of Computer Science,
		Software and systems engineering,
		Communication Networks,
		Object-Oriented Programming.
		Safety Critical Systems,
		Parallel Databases,
		CASE Tools for Parallel Systems,
		Neural Networks and Parallel Hardware,
		Transport management systems.

There will be some scholarships available: EPRSC studentships
and Sheffield University Research Bursaries. Candidates for admission
for these awards should have a good honours degree in a relevant
discipline (not necessarily Computer Science), or should attain such a
degree by October 1997. EPSRC awards are available only to EU citizens.
