[agents] Permanent Research Engineer Position in Trustworthy Multi-Agent Systems M/F

[John Champaign]

Hi Dr. Gürcan,

I found the position you posted today on the agents mailing list quite
interesting.

I'm a slightly later stage academic then the position is targeting -
as well as a post-doc, I've had 3 teaching focused faculty positions.
Additionally, while multi-agent systems has been a long term interest,
my more recent work has been focused on educational data mining and
intelligent tutoring systems.

I've attached my CV and would greatly appreciate your frank opinion
about whether I would be a good fit for this position.

Thanks for your time and consideration,

John
