<p class="MsoNormal">I hope you will excuse this, especially since I have not been active in the discussions of this group. (I wish I had more time to engage – I keep seeing interesting things in the messages but know that if I get involved my list of other
things I should have done but haven’t will grow even larger! Thank you to Pedro for running the group.)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The Department of Computing and Communications at The Open University in Milton Keynes, UK, is recruiting for two full-time PhD studentships. See
<a href="http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/ANH409/two-studentships-in-computing-and-communications/">
http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/ANH409/two-studentships-in-computing-and-communications/</a>. Among the topics of interest is the study of the nature of information. See the list of topics here:
<a href="http://www9.open.ac.uk/mct-cc/study/research-degrees/student-projects">http://www9.open.ac.uk/mct-cc/study/research-degrees/student-projects</a> and note especially the topics which identity Magnus Ramage or me as the contact.
