PhD STUDENTSHIP
A Medical Research Council studentship for a PhD is available at the MRC
Cognitive Development Unit in London (jointly with University College
London), for three years from October 1993, for a student particularly
interested in the cognitive aspects of abnormal development and how
such studies also be used to further our understanding of the normal
mind/brain. The CDU works on both normal and abnormal cognition (focal
lesion infants, Down syndrome, autism, dyslexia, etc.) and has recently
started a new project on Williams syndrome, a genetic disorder that
leaves language, face processing and theory of mind relatively spared, in
the face of severe deficits in number, spatial cognition and problem-
solving. This offers exciting new possibilities for a bright, inquisitive
scientific mind, in a relatively unchartered field of enquiry.
Competence/interest in connectionist modelling would be an added
advantage. The CDU is a small and very lively group of scientists with
varied interests and common theoretical concerns. Students with or
expecting a first class or upper second degree in cognitive science,
psychology, or other related fields, should send CV and a brief outline of
research interests, by 31st May latest, to:
Professor Annette Karmiloff-Smith,
Medical Research Council,
Cognitive Development Unit,
17 Gordon Street,
London, WC1H OAH.

Two Research Posts
Department of Psychology, University of Lancaster
Department of Computer Science, University of Manchester
Short-term memory for verbal sequences: psychological experiments
and connectionist modelling.
Applications are invited for two posts on a research project investigating
short-term memory mechanisms for processing verbal information. The first
post is for a postdoctoral researcher to work with Dr. Jonathan Shapiro
at Manchester on connectionist modelling and analysis. The second post is
for a graduate researcher to assist Professor Graham Hitch with the
psychological experiments.
Both post can begin as soon as possible and run through December 1995.
Applicants for the modelling post should have expertise in computational
and mathematical aspects of connectionism and a Ph.D. in a relevant subject.
The salary range is 15,221 - 16,629 U.K. pounds based on age and experience.
Applicants for the experimental post should have a first degree in psychology,
and interests in memory and cognition. The salary range is 13,632 - 15,221 U.K.
pounds. To apply for either post, send curriculum vita and the names and
addresses of two professional referees to the address below.
Closing Date: 14th of May.
