Description:

A lectureship (comparable to a US tenure-track faculty position) in 
Computational Cognitive Science is available at the School of Informatics, 
University of Edinburgh.

The University of Edinburgh has announced a number of prestigious 
positions called Chancellor's Fellowships. These are initially 5-year 
Fellowships, but subject to satisfactory review at the end of 3 years, the 
Fellow will move to a permanent academic post. Appointees will be able 
to concentrate on research in the first instance, acquiring the full duties of 
University Lecturer across the period of the Fellowship. These prestigious 
awards are aimed at early career individuals of the highest potential who 
have begun to establish a reputation for the highest quality research at the 
forefront of their discipline and who have a commitment to learning and 
teaching at university level.

One of the priority areas for Chancellor's Fellowships is Computational 
Cognitive Science. Areas of interest include computational models of 
language (including human-human and human-machine communication), 
higher-level cognition (including reasoning, categorization, and cognitive 
development), and multi-modal cognition (including visual processing, 
gesture, and sensorimotor control). Research on these topics is conducted 
in the Institute for Language, Cognition and Computation (ILCC, 
http://www.ilcc.inf.ed.ac.uk/).

ILCC is based in the School of Informatics, one of the world's top research 
leaders in computer science/informatics. The University of Edinburgh is 
one of the world's top research universities, in one of the world's most 
pleasant cities.

The official advert can be found at the application URL below.

Closing dates are 16th January, 29th February and 16th April
2012. Applicants should direct informal inquiries to Prof Steve Renals 
(email address below).

Note that Chancellor's Fellowships in cognitive science are also available 
in the School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences (see 
official advert at the URL below).
