Hi,

The AI division at USC's Information Sciences Institute now has almost  
140 researchers and other staff, but we're still expanding. This year  
we are hiring at all levels (senior PhD, new PhD, MSc, bachelor,  
undergraduate interns), and I am coordinating the search process.

AI at ISI is in the middle of a pretty explosive growth spurt. This is  
the third year in a row of 10%-15% increase in the number of  
researchers, and we see no sign of this coming to an end yet.  We are  
just about to start work on a new $28 million robotics research  
contract from NASA.

So we're interested in people in a variety of areas. As you can see on  
our web site <http://ai.isi.edu>, we have active research in natural  
language, information agents, robotics, computer-aided education,  
planning, knowledge bases, knowledge representation, the semantic web  
and more. While not all areas are actively hiring right now, we will  
not turn away an excellent candidate. Further, we are interested in  
branching into new areas. We would consider any candidate that helps us  
expand in new directions (such as machine learning, user interfaces,  
uncertainty) a potential investment in our future.

I include a general announcement of our job openings below. I would  
appreciate it very much if you could distribute it in your department.  
If you have specific people in mind, please let me know and I'll be  
happy to contact them, or tell them to contact me directly instead of  
using the instructions in the announcement.  People can also initiate  
the process by emailing or calling a senior researcher in an ISI  
project that interests them.

Let me know if your travels bring you to Los Angeles and you would like  
to visit us. We have an on-going AI seminar series that we could invite  
you to speak in, and we can also arrange meetings with researchers in  
areas of interest to you.

Thanks,

Yigal

               Job openings at
     the University of Southern California's
      Information Sciences Institute (ISI)
           in Artificial Intelligence

               http://ai.isi.edu


Dedicated to research and education in computer science and information  
technology, ISI is home to more than one hundred researchers and PhD  
students in Artificial Intelligence. ISI is located off campus in  
Marina del Rey, a casual boating town connected by a bike path with  
residential coastal cities from Santa Monica to Redondo Beach. ISI is  
part of the USC School of Engineering. A number of ISI researchers are  
also Research Faculty in the Department of Computer Science at USC, and  
advise graduate students on directed research projects and  
dissertations. Many PhD students at USC complete their degrees while  
working as research assistants on ISI projects.

AI research at ISI spans natural language, information agents,  
robotics, computer-aided education, planning, knowledge bases,  
knowledge representation, the semantic web and more. ISI is looking for  
people in these areas as well as other areas that may grow our research  
activities into new directions. We would like to fill the following  
types of positions:

- RESEARCH SCIENTISTS: senior PhDs as well as junior PhDs that are  
committed to long-term research careers and enjoy collaborative and  
challenging projects.

- RESEARCH PROGRAMMERS: researchers that enjoy system development and  
integration in diverse collaborative research groups. These positions  
are best suited to candidates with MSc and possibly BS degrees.

- VISITING RESEARCHERS: these positions are open to researchers with  
possibilities to take a leave from their home institution to  
collaborate with researchers at ISI.

- SUMMER INTERNSHIPS: these paid internships are available every summer  
to outstanding graduate, undergraduate, and high school students that  
want to get involved with research.

Please visit our web site http://ai.isi.edu for more information on the  
group, projects and researchers.

Resumes can be sent (all should reference "AI at ISI") by:

- Email (plain text or PDF formatted files only) to:   resumes at isi.edu
- Mail to:
             USC / ISI
