[ACT-R-users] job opening

[Wayne Gray]

The Cognitive Science Department of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute 
anticipates one or more openings beginning in Fall 2003, rank open. 
We are seeking candidates who have a Ph.D. in Cognitive Science or 
one of its contributing disciplines (i.e., AI/Computer Science, 
Psychology, Education/Educational Technology, Philosophy/Logic, or 
Linguistics).

The Cognitive Science Department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute 
specializes in four areas: Machine & Human Reasoning, Computational 
Cognitive Modeling, Cognitive Engineering, and Perception & Action. 
The ideal candidate will bridge two of these areas or one of these 
and a supporting area (e.g., AI/Natural Language Processing, 
Educational Psychology/Technology, and Cognitive Neuroscience.  Joint 
appointments with the Department of Computer Science, and/or the 
Department of Decision Sciences and Engineering Systems, are possible.

A record of (or strong potential for) external funding is expected, 
and evidence of teaching skills and multi-disciplinary interests is 
highly desirable.  Rank, again, is open.

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the oldest technological university 
in the U.S., is located in historic Troy NY, in the Hudson River 
Valley, approximately 5 miles N of Albany, NY. It is 3-hrs south of 
Montreal, 2.5-hrs west of Boston, and 2-hrs north of New York City, 
to which Amtrak runs on high-speed track that should soon shorten the 
trip even further. The Albany area is notable for many things, 
including its affordable housing, cultural events (e.g., the famed 
Saratoga Performing Arts Center), and proximity to outdoor recreation 
(e.g., hiking/skiing in the Adirondack, White, Green, and Berkshire 
Mountains).

The Cognitive Science Department is a new department that anticipates 
taking its first class of doctoral students in the Fall of 2003. 
Department faculty have excellent ties with faculty in the 
human-computer interaction program, decision sciences, and computer 
science. Labs that bridge department boundaries encourage these ties.

Applications will be evaluated starting on December 1, 2002, and will 
continue until a suitable candidate is found. A vita, three letters 
of recommendation, a brief statement of research and teaching 
interests, and copies of relevant preprints/reprints should be sent 
to: Cognitive Search Committee, c/o Wayne Gray -  Rensselaer 
Polytechnic Institute, 110 8th Street, Troy, New York 12180-3590
