Academic

The Information and Intelligent Systems Division of CISE at NSF is recruiting a program director for the Artificial Intelligence & Cognitive Science Program. The name of this program was recently changed from Knowledge and Cognitive Systems to more accurately reflect the research it supports. The program covers areas of AI & Cognitive Science including Planning, Knowledge Representation, Machine Learning, Automated Reasoning, Integrated Agents and models of cognitive processes.

The program director may be hired as a NSF employee or as a "rotator" from a university or government position. One mechanism to hire a "rotator" is to make a grant to your home institution that pays your 12-month salary, with NSF providing additional funds for housing and travel back to your home institution. Applications are due May 15, 2003. See http://www.cise.nsf.gov/vacn/index.html for more details and the application process.

The Artificial Intelligence & Cognitive Science Program is one of several related programs in the division of Information and Intelligent Systems, which also includes programs in Robotics and Computer Vision, Human Language and Communication, Human Computer Interaction, Information and Data Management, Digital Libraries, Digital Society and Technologies, Universal Access, and Data and Application Security.

Qualified persons who are women, ethnic/racial minorities, and persons with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply. The National Science Foundation is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to employing a highly qualified staff that reflects the diversity of our nation.

Thanks,
