>> From: Y.Wilks@dcs.shef.ac.uk (Yorick Wilks)
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
