Two post doctoral Research Fellows

Computational modelling of quantifiers:
The relative influence of scalar and contextual factors.

Two fixed-term post-doctoral Research Fellows (Salary: £22,191) are
required for a period of one year eight months in the first instance to
work on an EPSRC-funded collaborative project with Dr Kenny Coventry
(Centre for Thinking and Language, Department of Psychology), Dr Angelo
Cangelosi (Centre for Neural and Adaptive Systems, School of Computing) and
Prof. Steve Newstead (Centre for Thinking and Language, Department of
Psychology), at the University of Plymouth.

The objective of the research is to develop a computational model for vague
quantifiers using neural networks based on experimental data with human
participants. One of the positions will primarily involve the design and
collection of experimental data from human participants, and the other post
will primarily involve connectionist computational modelling. However,
candidates possessing both computational and experimental skills are
particularly encouraged to apply.

Ref : 5183/HSCI (based in the Centre for Thinking and Language, Department
of Psychology), the applicant must have a PhD in one of the Cognitive
Sciences (Psychology/Linguistics/Computer Science), with expertise in
experimental methodologies and analyses.

Ref : 5183/HSCI (based in the Centre for Neural and Adaptive Systems,
School of Computing), the applicant must have a PhD in one of the Cognitive
Sciences (Computer Science/Psychology/Linguistics), with expertise in
cognitive and neural network modelling and programming skills.

The appointees will be working collaboratively as part of a larger
interdisciplinary research team (see:
