Dear Colleague: Usual apologies for any duplicates of this. Below is an advertisement that just appeared for a Chair which we hope to fill with a candidate in AI, broadly interpreted. I am writing to ask if you would pass this message on to anyone good who is seeking such a Chair. Experience in other places seems to have shown that one gets a better field of AI candidates by explicitly mentioning it, rather than assuming it is covered by a catch-all title of Computer Science; logically, it is covered, but not psychologically for many people. Sheffield is a good Department to be in right now, increasing in size, resources and research quality, and it is a good city to live in too. UK Vice-chancellors (i.e. Presidents or Rectors) are now much more flexible when making such appointments, in terms of salary, pensions and equipment, and it is expected that a lecturer (Asst. Professor) appointment would come with this Chair. I would be happy to talk informally with anyone interested. Best wishes #Yorick Wilkks ************************************************************************* The University of Sheffield Department of Computer Science CHAIR IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE OR SOFTWARE ENGINEERING Applications are invited for a Chair in Artificial Intelligence or Software Engineering.
