[ACT-R-users] Post-Doc @ CogWorks Lab

[Wayne Gray]

Greetings.

I am looking for a post-doc to join me at the new Cognitive Science 
Dept at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY. We have several 
grants investigating cognitive processes in dynamic environments.

My intention is to make the CogWorks lab a center of expertise in the 
ACT-R community. To this end, Dr. Michael Schoelles has recently 
joined the lab as a Research Assistant Professor. Dr. Schoelle's 
skills in software engineering and expertise in how ACT-R is 
implemented add an important dimension to the training provided and 
the opportunities for research. (Note that another member of the 
ACT-R community, Prof. Frank Lee, is also a member of the Rensselaer 
Cognitive Science Dept. Although Prof. Lee is not directly associate 
with the CogWorks Lab, there is much interaction and sharing of ideas 
between his group and mine.)

Resources at the CogWorks lab include G4 Macintoshes, an LC Eye 
Tracker, and the usual array of printers, scanners, fast ethernet 
connections, and software. In addition, over the years we have 
developed a series of simulated task environments (such as Argus, 
Nemo, and others) that have been written to facilitate the collection 
of detailed empirical data from both human and simulated human users.

The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in Cognitive Science, Computer 
Science, or Psychology. The candidate also will have knowledge of 
ACT-R and skill, or the desire and the ability to acquire skill, in 
computational cognitive modeling, eye tracking, model tracing, as 
well as in the design and analysis of empirical studies.

The appointment is for one year and may be renewed annually for a 
total of 3-yrs. Applications will be reviewed immediately and will 
continue until the position is filled. Start date is flexible and may 
begin at any time between now and Sept 2003.

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) is the oldest technological 
university in the U.S. It 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. (Amtrak is installing a high-speed track that should 
make the NYC to Albany trip even shorter.) 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).

Feel free to contact me for more information.

Cheers,

Wayne
