The Department of Computer Science at the University of the West�
ern Cape (South Africa) has identified the area of intelligent
systems as one of its main research thrusts. We aim to position
ourselves to assume a national leadership role in this emerging
field. In order to further strengthen our research capacity, we
invite applications for
2 POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP POSITIONS
for an initial 1-year period with the very strong possibility of
renewal for an additional 2 years.
Areas of interest include but are not restricted to
- signal processing
- internet applications
- data mining
- intelligent networks
- intelligent agents
- computational learning theory
For applicants with research interests in bioinformatics, there
exist opportunities for collaboration with the South African Na�
tional Bioinformatics Institute which is located on our campus.
The successful candidates may either pursue their own research
programmes or may participate in existing projects. For a de�
scription of current research projects within the department,
please see http://www.whipper.uwc.ac.za/~comlin.
No teaching duties are expected from the postdoctoral research
fellows; however, there exists the opportunity to supervise
MSc/PhD students and/or to give postgraduates classes in his/her
area of interest if he/she so desires.
We offer a competitive, tax-free stipend, a friendly atmosphere,
and state-of-the-art equipment. We encourage publication of
research results and offer financial support for travel to con-
ferences.
The University of the Western Cape is located 20 minutes from the
center of cosmopolitan Cape Town which features scenic views,
sandy beaches, great opportunities for outdoor activities, na�
tional parks withs stunnning fauna and flora, and plenty of arts

wineland where world-class wines are produced in over 300
vinyards.
Please send your CV, a list of publications, copies of two repre-
