[ACT-R-users] Postdoctoral or Research Programmer in Cognitive Modeling at Carnegie Mellon University

[Niels Taatgen]

Postdoctoral or Research Programmer in Cognitive Modeling at Carnegie 
Mellon University

We are looking for either a postdoctoral researcher or a research 
programmer for a NASA project titled "The representation and learning 
of instructions". The goal of this project is to extend our existing 
ACT-R models of learning from instructions for complex skills to 
real-world tasks. More specifically, we want to create a model that can 
learn to execute certain procedures of the Flight Management System 
(FMS) of a Boeing 777. The project involves programming simulations of 
the FMS that can be used in both experiments and model simulations, the 
collection of human data in experiments, and the development of models.

Requirements are either a Ph.D. (for a postdoc position) or a MSc. (for 
a research programmer position) in cognitive science, computer science 
or cognitive psychology with experience in cognitive modeling, 
preferably with ACT-R. Programming experience is also required, 
preferably in Lisp. This position is funded for three years by NASA and 
offers a highly competitive salary and benefits.

To obtain addition information, contact Niels Taatgen (taatgen at cmu.edu) 
or John Anderson (ja+ at cmu.edu).
