    Just got your PhD and want to focus on pure curiosity-driven research
    before jumping into the tenure-track pressure cooker?

    We are looking for one or more postdoctoral research scientists (PDRS),
    to help us work on theoretical and applied research in various specific

    You will be part of a team that has recently emerged as one of the
    strongest AI groups anywhere, with a number of world-class professors
    that include editors-in-chief of major journals, AAAI Fellows,
    Steacie Fellows, McCalla Fellows ... And we are continuing to grow and
    improve. Moreover, our department is known for its collegiality.

    Applicants should
       * have a solid background in one or more of the areas described above
       * have good scientific skills
       * be good at writing software to implement and evaluate algorithms

    Successful applicants will have the opportunity to do sessional teaching in
    the department of Computing Science.

    Applicants should EMAIL a CV, the email addresses of 3 references, and
    a short description of their research interests and goals as a postdoc
    (ascii format, < 500 words) to
       Russ Greiner (greiner@cs.ualberta.ca)
