[ACT-R-users] Post-Doctoral Position at the DDMLab, Carnegie Mellon

[Cleotilde Gonzalez]

Folks,

    my lab (www.cmu.edu/ddmlab) invites applications for a post-doctoral fellow position, to get engaged in interdisciplinary research projects involving experimental and computational cognitive modeling of dynamic decision making and decisions from experience.  Please see the ad below and feel free to distribute widely. Apologies for cross-postings.



thank you,

JOB OPPORTUNITY: POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW POSITION

Dynamic Decision Making Laboratory

www.cmu.edu/ddmlab

Carnegie Mellon University

Starting on September 2014



Keeping cyber space protected against illegal intrusions is one of the more important challenges today. In contrast to the physical world, there are many distinct cognitive challenges that a decision maker confronts in the cyber world. Science of cyber security aimed at understanding and predicting human behavior in these situations is greatly needed. The new post-doctoral fellow will be involved in doing behavioral experimental and computational research on dynamic decision making and decisions from experience in the context of cyber security.



The Dynamic Decision Making Laboratory (DDMLab) is an interdisciplinary research team, involved in a variety of basic science projects sponsored by many organizations such as National Science Foundation, Army Research Laboratories, Defense Threat Reduction Agency, and others. Postdoctoral fellow will work directly with Professor Gonzalez and other researchers in the DDMLab; and will be part of an interdisciplinary research team involving collaborations with other laboratories at Carnegie Mellon University (such as the CyLab and CUPS) and with multiple other universities.



The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in Psychology, Decision Sciences, or Human Factors Engineering, and should have broad research interests involving human behavior, learning and decision making from the cognitive and social psychology perspectives. The ideal candidate should have a strong behavioral background (experimental and cognitive psychology, decision sciences) and also a technical background (cognitive, mathematical, computational modeling). Particular knowledge on Decisions from Experience and Behavioral Game Theory, literature, experimental methods and paradigms are a plus. Technical skills in Matlab, R and Python are ideal. Demonstrated writing ability of research manuscripts is required. Experience or technical knowledge in areas of cyber security is desirable, but not required.



Applicants should send a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, relevant journal articles, and three reference letters before July 15, 2014, when the evaluation process will start. A decision is expected to be made by August 1st. Electronic applications are encouraged.  Please send electronic documents (Word, Pdf) to: coty at cmu.edu.
