[ACT-R-users] Positions at ABC

[Schooler, Lael]

RESEARCH SCIENTIST and PRE/POSTDOCS IN COGNITION AND DECISION MAKING - 
The Center for Adaptive Behavior and Cognition at the Max Planck
Institute for Human Development in Berlin, under the direction of Gerd
Gigerenzer, is seeking applicants for research scientist positions at
ranks equivalent to an assistant and associate professor. The positions
are for 6 years (renewable every 2 years) beginning August 2006, but
earlier or later start dates are possible. Salary depends on experience.
Candidates must have a PhD. Except for mentoring doctoral students and
postdoctoral fellows, there are no teaching requirements.

The Center is also seeking applicants for up to 2 one-year Predoctoral
Fellowships and up to 3 two-year Postdoctoral Fellowships beginning on
or after September 1, 2006.

Candidates for any of these positions should be interested in studying
the cognitive mechanisms underlying bounded, social, and ecological
rationality in real-world domains. Current and past researchers in our
group have had training in psychology, cognitive science, economics,
mathematics, biology, and computer science to name but a few. The Center
provides excellent resources, including support staff and equipment for
conducting experiments and computer simulations, generous travel support
for conferences, and, most importantly, the time to think.

For more information about our group please visit our homepage at
www.mpib-berlin.mpg.de/abc or write to Dr. Lael
Schooler(schooler at mpib-berlin.mpg.de). The working language of the
center is English, and knowledge of German is not necessary for living
in Berlin and enjoying the active life and cultural riches of this city.
We strongly encourage applications from women, and members of minority
groups. The Max Planck Society is committed to employing more
handicapped individuals and especially encourages them to apply.

Send applications (consisting of a cover letter describing research
interests, curriculum vitae, 3 letters of recommendation, and up to five
reprints) by January 10th, 2006 to Ms. Wiebke Moeller, Center for
Adaptive Behavior and Cognition, Max Planck Institute for Human
Development, Lentzeallee 94, 14195 Berlin, Germany.
