The Division of Behavioural Research in the federal Department of
Communications will have an opening for one NSERC Visiting Fellow in
1991/92 (subject to budgetary approval). This position requires
completion of a Ph.D. and would be of interest to psychologists (and
others) who have concentrated their studies in one of the areas listed
below.

I would appreciate it if you would alert eligible graduate students in
your department to this opening by posting or circulating this letter.

The Division of Behavioural Research is a group of psychologists at the
Communications Research Centre in Ottawa who study the human response to
new communications and information technologies. This research covers a
broad range of topics in perception, cognitive psychology, social
psychology and artificial intelligence.

It is anticipated that the Visiting Fellow would work in the Interactive
Dialogues laboratory. This lab is developing natural language systems
for browsing through electronic databases. These systems are being used
in advanced interactive television design, electronic telephone and
government directories, public education services about AIDS, and
employment search skills training. This research provides an exciting
opportunity to work on the development of natural language information
systems, and to evaluate them in real-world tests with the general
public.

This fellowship is offered for one year with a possible renewal for a
second year. Currently, the fellowship has an annual value of $32,239.

Any person who will have defended a doctoral thesis in experimental
psychology (or related fields) by the Summer of 1991 is eligible. An
interest in computers or computer usage would be an asset. Specific
knowledge about communications technologies or communications research
is not required.

Interested persons should request an Application for the Visiting
Fellowships Program immediately from:

Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada
Research Manpower Program

This application must be completed and returned to NSERC before 15

Communications on their NSERC application should forward a copy of their
