[Debra McNeely]

Cognitive Scientist


Aptima is developing the next generation of performance measurement and
intelligent tutoring systems for clients in the Air Force, Army, and Navy,
and for sponsors in non-military government and commercial organizations.
This work entails analysis of decision-making and team coordination in
complex domains such as urban warfare and airborne command and control;
development and validation of measures of individual and team performance;
design of intelligent tutoring systems; and empirical evaluation of the
effects of these systems on human performance in simulated missions.



We seek a cognitive scientist who can play a leading role in this work as a
senior member of Aptima’s Cognitive Systems Group. The successful applicant
will address these R&D challenges in interdisciplinary teams that involve
Aptima’s respected staff of cognitive scientists, industrial/organizational
psychologists, human factors specialists, mathematical modelers, military
operations analysts, and software developers.



The ideal candidate will have the following qualifications:

·         A doctorate in cognitive science, cognitive psychology, or a
related field

·         A record of research and publication concerning decision making,
learning, and team coordination

·         A record of winning contracts or grants

·         The respect of members of our client community: researchers in
military and non-military government laboratories

·         Demonstrated experience in knowledge elicitation, decision
analysis, human performance measurement, and the design of systems for
instruction or decision support

·         Experience leading or managing R&D projects

·         An ability to lead work in multidisciplinary teams

·         A desire to work in Boston or Washington, DC

·         A willingness to travel



In sum, we seek an individual with a demonstrated record of leadership in
cognitive science, and with a drive to understand, measure, and improve
human decision-making and team coordination.
