Postdoctoral Position @ CMU

[Christian Lebiere]

The postdoctoral researcher will participate in an investigation of the 
impact of working memory differences on individual performance in complex 
interactive environments, such as air traffic control simulations.  The 
project involves the collection of experimental data and the development of 
cognitive models of individual performance.  The models will be developed 
using the ACT-R cognitive architecture, a hybrid architecture combining a 
rule-based production system with adaptive neural-like activation processes 
and perceptual and motor modules.

Requirements include a Ph.D. in cognitive science, computer science or 
psychology with experience in experimental design and in cognitive 
modeling, preferably but not necessarily using the ACT-R cognitive 
architecture.  Programming experience, especially in Lisp, is preferred but 
not required.  This position is funded for three years by the Office of 
Naval Research and offers a highly competitive salary and benefits. 
Carnegie Mellon University offers a stimulating research environment in 
livable Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
