postdoc in modeling of cognitive processes

[John K. Kruschke]

POSTDOCTORAL TRAINING FELLOWSHIPS
in the
COGNITIVE SCIENCE PROGRAM
INDIANA UNIVERSITY
in
MODELING OF COGNITIVE PROCESSES

The Psychology Department and Cognitive Science Program at Indiana
University anticipate one or more Postdoctoral Traineeships in the
area of Modeling of Cognitive Processes, funded by the National
Institutes of Health.  Appointments will pay rates appropriate for a
new or recent Ph.D. and will be for one or two years, beginning July
1, 2001 or earlier.

Traineeships will be offered to qualified individuals who wish to
further their training in mathematical modeling or computer simulation
modeling, in any substantive area of cognitive psychology or Cognitive
Science.

Trainees will be expected to carry out original theoretical and
empirical research in association with one or more of these faculty
and their laboratories, and to interact with other relevant faculty
and other pre- and postdoctoral trainees.  In addition, they should
plan to take or audit courses offered within the Cognitive Modeling
Program.

We are particularly interested in applicants with strong mathematical,
scientific, and research credentials. Indiana University has superb
computational and research facilities, and faculty with outstanding
credentials in this area of research, including James Townsend,
director of the training program, and Jerome Busemeyer, Robert
Nosofsky, John Kruschke, Michael Gasser, Robert Goldstone, Geoffrey
Bingham, Tom Busey, Donald Robinson, Robert Port, Olaf Sporns, Richard
Shiffrin.

Applicants should send an up-to-date vita, relevant reprints and
preprints, a personal letter describing their research interests,
background, goals, and career plans, and reference letters from two
individuals. Women, minority group members, and handicapped
individuals are urged to apply.

Deadline for submission of application materials is April 1, 2001, but
we encourage earlier applications.

PLEASE NOTE: The conditions of our grant restrict all awards to U.S.
citizens or current green card holders. Awards also have a 'payback'
provision, generally requiring awardees to carry out research or teach
(not necessarily at IU) for a minimum period after termination of the
traineeship.
