Postdoc position (two year) in cognitive modeling

The post-doctoral researcher will participate in the Optima project
(Optimal personal interfaces through manumitting agents). The goal of
this project is to develop agent based on the ACT-R cognitive
architecture that can adapt themselves to individual users. The project
has to main parts: a part that focusses on the development of theory,
mainly in the area of skill acquisition, and a part that focusses on
application: how can the learning component be implemented in useful way
in an application.
