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.</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 17px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Requirements are either a Ph.D. (for a postdoc position) or a MSc.
