[ACT-R-users] Postdoctoral position at RPI

[Nick Cassimatis]

I have funding for a postdoc at the Rensselaer Department of Cognitive
Science.  There is a little flexibility in the start date, but sooner
is better.

The overall aim of our lab is to advance the level of intelligence
computational systems can model by developing a framework for
integrating the strengths of multiple modeling approaches into a
single cognitive architecture.  Current projects involve judgment and
decision making, natural language understanding, hybrids of
probabilistic, logical and structured inference strategies, and
reasoning about the beliefs, desires and intentions people. 

RPI is a top-tier research university.  The Cognitive Science
department is conducting research in a number of areas:  cognitive
modeling, human and machine learning, multi-agent interactions and
social simulation, neural networks and connectionist models, human and
machine reasoning, cognitive engineering, etc.

RPI is located in historic Troy NY, in the Hudson River Valley,
approximately 5 miles North of Albany, NY. It is three hours south of
Montreal, 2.5 hours west of Boston, and two hours north of New York
City, to which Amtrak runs several trains daily. The Albany area is
notable for any 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).
