******************
The Applied Cognitive Program of George Mason University is searching 
for a post-doctoral researcher skilled in cognitive modeling and 
cognitive science. Current projects include building Integrated 
process models of perception, cognition, and action.

The ideal candidate will have created one or more computational 
cognitive  models within a unified architecture of cognition (e.g., 
ACT-R, CAPS, C-I, EPIC, or Soar) and will have compared the 
performance of his or her model(s) to empirical data. (As we work 
primarily within an ACT-R framework, we are especially looking for 
people skilled in ACT-R. However, knowledge of other
computational cognitive modeling systems plus a willingness to learn ACT-R
will be considered.)

Additional factors include proficiency in the design and analysis of 
behavioral research experiments. Experience with eye tracking studies 
and their data analysis are a plus. We expect that the successful 
candidate will have a Ph.D. in Psychology or Computer Science but 
Ph.D.'s in other areas can be considered.

Candidates who do not meet the "ideal" qualifications should feel 
free to contact us as well.

SALARY RANGE: $24,000 to $30,000 per 12 mon

George Mason University is located in Fairfax, VA a short (about 15 
miles) drive from Washington, DC. (Close to Dulles Airport.)

All queries should be sent to Wayne D. Gray at gray at gmu.edu. CV's, 
publications, and statements of interests can be sent electronically 
or at the address listed  below. Letters of reference are not 
necessary at this time, but will be solicited later from candidates 
whose qualifications and interests seem most appropriate. 
Applications will be reviewed beginning May 3rd; applications will be 
considered until the position is filled.
