           INSTITUTE FOR RESEARCH IN COGNITIVE SCIENCE

          Postdoctoral Fellows in Logic and Computation

The Institute for Research in Cognitive Science (IRCS) at
the University of Pennsylvania provides opportunities for several
postdoctoral positions in Cognitive Science.

The Institute brings together researchers in the common
pursuit of an understanding of the human mind, and fosters the
development of new technology arising from this understanding.
Over 40 Penn faculty members across 5 departments are currently
associated with IRCS, linking together the disciplines of
computer and information science, linguistics, mathematical
logic, neuroscience, philosophy, and psychology.

The Logic and Computation Group at Penn participates in IRCS and
has strong ties with the disciplines listed above. Areas of current
interest to the group include:

       Analysis of Concurrency
       Computational Biology
       Computational Logics
       Databases
       Logic and Complexity
       Mathematical Semantics of Programming Languages

Penn faculty in the logic and computation group include:

      Peter Buneman    (peter@cis.upenn.edu)
      Peter Freyd      (pjf@saul.cis.upenn.edu)
      Jean Gallier     (jean@cis.upenn.edu)
      Carl Gunter      (gunter@cis.upenn.edu)
      Aravind Joshi    (joshi@cis.upenn.edu)
      Sampath Kannan   (kannan@cis.upenn.edu)
