A postdoctoral position is available in the Computational Cognition
and Learning Lab at Indiana University (http://www.indiana.edu/~dll/)
for someone who is interested in analyzing and modeling multimodal
multi-streaming data collected from human-human and human-robot
interaction. The lab research work focuses on developing and using
data mining and machine learning techniques to understand multimodal
embodied communication and cognitive learning systems, and as well as
building computational models/systems to emulate human intelligence.
To achieve those goals, we employ state-of-the-art sensing and
computational techniques to collect multimodal behavioral data (e.g.
vision, speech, motion tracking, and eye tracking) from human-human
and human-robot interaction, and analyze such data based on
statistical machine learning techniques. This is a good opportunity to
participate in interdisciplinary research projects.

The requirement for the position is a Ph.D. in computer science or
cognitive science, and extensive experience with data mining and
computational modeling work. Candidates with experience in working
with sensorimotor data are preferred. The position will be supervised
by Dr. Chen Yu of Psychological and Brain Sciences, Cognitive Science
& Computer Science at Indiana University, Bloomington.  For more
information about the research, the computational cognition and
learning lab, and other affiliated faculty, see
http://www.indiana.edu/~dll/.

Interested individuals should send a CV, representative publications,
a statement of research interests, and three letters of reference to
chenyu at indiana.edu.
