[ACT-R-users] Job opening in Cognitive Modeling

[Niels Taatgen]

Postdoctoral or Research Programmer in Cognitive Modeling at Carnegie  
Mellon University

We are looking for either a postdoctoral researcher or a research  
programmer for a NASA project titled "The representation and learning  
of instructions". This three year project has been running for a  
year, and we are looking for someone to strengthen the team. The goal  
of this project is to extend our understanding of learning from  
instructions for complex skills in real-world tasks. More  
specifically, we want to create a model that can learn to execute  
procedures that are used in Aviation and Space Exploration. The work  
in the past year has focussed on the Flight Management System (FMS)  
of the Boeing 777, which we want to further extend. The project  
involves programming simulations of the FMS that can be used in both  
experiments and model simulations, the collection of human data in  
experiments, and the development of models.

Requirements are either a Ph.D. (for a postdoc position) or a MSc.  
(for a research programmer position) in cognitive science, computer  
science or cognitive psychology. We are especially looking for people  
with some experience in cognitive modeling, experimentation and  
programming.

To obtain addition information, contact Niels Taatgen (co-PI,  
taatgen at cmu.edu) or John Anderson (PI, ja at cmu.edu).
