>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.
