	ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE GRADUATE SCHOOL
		PRINCETON UNIVERSITY
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Department of Computer Science at Princeton University invites
applications from qualified undergraduate students for graduate study
in artificial intelligence and cognitive science.  Applicants should
have a strong background in traditional computer science with a
demonstrated research interest in one or more of the following areas:
handwriting recognition, speech recognition, statistical language
modeling, statistical pattern recognition, computer vision, machine
learning, linguistics, motor behavior, and primate vision.

The Department of Computer Science features:

	o World-renown faculty in theoretical computer science,
	  computer graphics, computer systems, neuroscience, and
	  cognitive science.  Amazing student/faculty ratio (2.3:1)
          ensures close collaboration with faculty and with highly
	  qualified and highly motivated undergraduates.

	o Strong ties to local AI research community, including
	  AT&T Bell Labs, Bellcore, IDA-CCR, MITL, NEC Research,
	  Rutgers, Sarnoff Labs, and Siemens Research.

	o All graduate students receive full time support, including summers.

	o Excellent employment prospects: all of our recent graduates have
	  accepted employment in top industrial and academic research groups.

	o State-of-the-art computing facilities maintained by top-notch
	  systems staff with virtually no unscheduled down time.  More than
	  30 each of DEC Alpha AXPs, SGI workstations (including a Reality
	  Engine), and Pentium machines, along with an Intel Hypercube and
	  assorted HPPA workstations, Sun Sparcs, NeXTs, PCs, Macs, over 90 NCD
	  Xterminals, and a surfeit of disk space (>100GB, 60% utilization).

	o Easy access to New York City and Philadelphia.
