The School of Business, Carleton University, and the Department of
Computer Science, University of Ottawa, have obtained a grant from the
Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada for a
project entitled "Automation and Support of Decisions with Strategic
Interactions".

We invite applications for a postdoctoral position on this project.
Candidates must have a recently completed Ph.D. The ideal candidate will
have a strong background in Artificial Intelligence (in particular,
Knowledge Representation, Knowledge-based Systems, Planning, as well as
programming in Prolog) and Sofware Engineering, and an active interest
in Decision Analysis and Support. A record of research in at least one
of these areas is a definite asset. The position is available
immediately and guaranteed for three years. The salary is $27,500/year
(under review), plus an excellent benefit package.

The postdoctoral fellow will be an essential member of the project's
team, consisting of three faculty and several graduate students, and
will play an active role in all aspects of the project, including the
major research decisions. Duties include participation in the
development of a logic-based decision support system, in the supervision
of graduate students, in the publications that will arise from the
project, and in several decision support tasks realized in co-operation
with industrial partners.

Our research environment includes a complete graduate program in
Computer Science run by the Ottawa-Carleton Institute of Computer
Science (whose 10 out of over 50 members work in AI) and a
research-oriented Master's program in the School of Business (with 20
faculty). The Carleton University's Decision Analysis Laboratory groups
four faculty and a number of graduate students.

Ottawa, Canada's capital, is a pleasant city of 800,000, surrounded by
beautiful countryside, with active cultural life and a unique bilingual
atmosphere.
