    LEARNING AND ACTION IN THE FACE OF UNCERTAINTY
    Brown University Interdisciplinary Graduate Training Program

                     Deadline for Applications: January 1, 2002

Brown University is actively recruiting graduate students for an
NSF-supported Interdisciplinary Graduate Education, Research and
Training (IGERT) program in "Learning and Action in the Face of
Uncertainty: Cognitive, Computational and Statistical Approaches".

The use of probabilistic models and statistical methods has had a
major impact on our understanding of language, vision, action, and
reasoning. This training program provides students with the
opportunity to integrate a detailed study of human or artificial
systems for language acquisition and use, visual processing, action,
and reasoning with appropriate mathematical and computational models.
Students will be enrolled in one of the three participating
departments (Applied Mathematics, Cognitive & Linguistic Sciences, or
Computer Science) and will follow an interdisciplinary program of
courses in topics such as statistical estimation, cognitive
processes, linguistics, and computational models. The aim of this
program is to provide promising students with a mix of mathematical,
computational and experimental expertise to carry out
multidisciplinary collaborative research across the disciplines of
Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, and Cognitive and Linguistic
Sciences.

Interested students should apply to the participating department
closest to their area of interest and expertise, and should indicate
their interest in the IGERT training program in their application.
These NSF funded positions are restricted to US citizens and
permanent residents. Brown University is an Equal
Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
