Dear Evolutionary Computing Community, Keele University is seeking to appoint two lecturers in Computer Science (see advert text below). We would very much welcome applications from individuals who are research active within Artificial Life, Computational Intelligence, Evolutionary and Adaptive Systems, Natural Computation or a related field. Details of Keele's Computational Intelligence and Cognitive Science (CICS) group’s research can be found in the posts' further particulars (see below) and on our website at http://www.scm.keele.ac.uk/research/ci_and_cognitive_science/ For those unfamiliar with the British system, a lecturer is roughly equivalent to an assistant professor, but without tenure review: these are permanent faculty positions for research active individuals, although inexperienced lecturers may be subject to a probationary period. Keele University was founded in 1949 and is situated in a very beautiful and spacious campus in the middle of England, in the county of Staffordshire. Keele places a high value on excellent research and we support nationally and internationally competitive expertise throughout the Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, Health and Humanities.
