nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international

			 Stanford University

The project on Interactive Communication with Intelligent Autonomous
Systems under the direction of Stanley Peters is looking for a
postdoctoral researcher.  Applicants should have background and
interests in two or more of the following areas:

  - design and implementation of real-time computational systems
  - spoken human language theory and technology
  - behavioral analysis of communication among cooperating agents

The ideal candidate will have credentials in system building and in
natural language, as well as a lively interest in agent communication.
The appointment is initially for one year with a potential renewal for
following years.  Salary is negotiable and commensurate with
experience.

The project is working in collaboration with the WITAS project at
Linköping University to develop a communications interface between
humans and an intelligent autonomous aerial vehicle.  For more
