[ACT-R-users] Post-doc at CMU

[John Anderson]

Greetings.

I am looking for a post-doc to join me in our working on modeling the 
learning of algebra.  We have been collecting both behavioral data 
and brain imaging data trying to track out the learning of what 
constitutes first year high-school algebra in America.  The ultimate 
goal will be to have a simulated student that interacts with the same 
software that students do and that learns the curriculum in the same 
way.

The candidate would be joining a large research and well-resourced 
group where we are pursuing many interesting questions relevant to 
learning and the ACT-R architecture and would play a significant role 
in guiding the direction of the algebra project and in the direction 
of the group more generally.

The ideal candidate would have a Ph. D in a related area and a 
working knowledge of ACT-R.  The appointment would be one year and 
may be renewed annually.  Past post docs have tended to stay 2 or 3 
years.   Start date is flexible and may begin at any time between now 
and September.

Feel free to contact me for more information.
