[ACT-R-users] Position at RPI

[Wayne Gray]

Tenure-track Position in Cognitive Science

The Cognitive Science Department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute 
invites applications for an anticipated tenure-track position at the 
rank of Assistant Professor beginning in Fall 2006 or possibly (for 
the right candidate) Spring 2007.  We are seeking candidates who 
combine computational, mathematical, and/or logic-based modeling 
informed by experimental research in the areas of perception and 
action (e.g., motor control, vision, attention), interactive behavior 
(e.g., integrated models of cognitive systems), or high-level 
cognition (e.g., skill acquisition, decision making, reasoning). The 
candidate's interest can be in basic and/or applied theory-based 
research. Interests in areas such as robotics or high-level 
computational neuroscience will be considered a strength. However, 
all disciplines within cognitive science are potential sources of 
candidates. All candidates are expected to have a strong potential 
for external funding.

The Cognitive Science Department at Rensselaer is among the world's 
newest dedicated cognitive science departments, specializing in 
computational cognitive modeling, perception/action, learning and 
reasoning (human and machine), and cognitive engineering.  The 
department's primary mission is to carry out seminal basic research 
and to develop engineering applications within cognitive science. 
This effort requires the continued growth of its new, 
research-oriented doctoral program in cognitive science.  Department 
faculty have excellent ties with faculty in Computer Science, 
Engineering, and Decision Sciences. Women and minorities are 
especially encouraged to apply. Send curriculum vitae, reprints and 
preprints of publications, a 1-to-2 page statement of research, a 
1-page statement of teaching interests, and three letters of 
reference to: Search Committee, c/o Heather Hewitt, Cognitive Science 
Department, Carnegie Building, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute,110 
8th Street, Troy, NY 12180. (Direct queries via email to Prof. Wayne 
D. Gray, grayw at rpi.edu, Chair of the Search Committee.) Applications 
will be reviewed beginning December 1st and continuing until the 
position is filled.

If you just have formalisms or a model you are doing "operations 
research" or" AI", if you just have data and a good study you are 
doing "experimental psychology", and if you just have ideas you are 
doing "philosophy" -- it takes all three to do cognitive science.
