Funding is available for the support of a postdoctoral fellow for 12 months
(possibly extensible; rate determined according to qualifications) or a
postgraduate scholarship (at a preferential rate of 18437 p.a.). Potential
applicants from outside Australia are advised that they may be liable to
pay fees as an international student. While it is envisaged that a scholarship
holder will undertake a Ph.D., an offer may require a student to enrol in an
M.Sc. initially.

Applicants should have a good familiarity with at least one Asian Language,
and must have some knowledge of Japanese. Some background in Machine Learning,
(especially unsupervised, statistical or self-organizing approaches) is
essential, and some linguistics or cognitive science background is desirable.
Familiarity with Perl, C and/or Matlab would also be an advantage. More
information is available from A/Prof. David Powers and the AI Group web page
(see below for contact information), and intending applicants are advised to
contact A/Prof. Powers at an early stage to find out more about the project
and discuss their qualifications and interests.

Applicants should send their CV to A/Prof. David Powers by 6th December 1999,
indicating when they would be available to start. Late applications will
be considered until an offer is made and accepted. We reserve the right not
to make any offer or to make an offer on a basis different from those indicated
above.

This project is supported primarily by ARC Large Grant A59801806 and in part
by grants from Flinders Technologies and a Flinders Science and Engineering
Research Award (Industry).
