[ACT-R-users] Job Opportunity

[Gluck, Kevin A Civ USAF AFRL/RHAT]

The Air Force Research Laboratory's Performance and Learning Models (PALM) Research Team is seeking highly qualified candidates to fill a software engineer/research programmer position working on-site with us in Mesa, Arizona.

The PALM Team's overarching scientific objective is to improve on our understanding of human perceptual, cognitive, and motor processes. We do this by conducting empirical research and creating computational and mathematical models of results and phenomena of interest. Current research areas include spatial competence, the effects of fatigue on cognition, language-enabled synthetic entities, the micro-dynamics of learning and forgetting, and the development of large-scale computational infrastructures that enable faster scientific progress in cognitive science.  Applications of interest to our team include synthetic teammates, pedagogical agents, and analysis tools for performance optimization.

The position we currently have available will primarily involve the ongoing development of our software infrastructure for the efficient and effective use of high performance and volunteer computing resources for cognitive modeling.  This position requires 3+ years experience with C/C++ & Linux.  Preferred candidates will have a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science, Cognitive Science, or a related discipline, as well as experience with Lisp, Java, PHP, MySQL, Windows and Mac OS.  Consideration will be given to experience in lieu of education.  The position is only available to U.S. citizens who are eligible to obtain a U.S. Secret security clearance.

The official position description and application link is available by entering requisition number LinkDB32462 here:  http://www.l-3com.com/careers/search.aspx

If you are interested in this position, please let me know.  Please forward this to any other qualified and eligible people you know who might be interested in applying.

"The true line is not between 'hard' natural science and 'soft' social sciences, but between precise science limited to highly abstract and simple phenomena in the laboratory and inexact science and technology dealing with complex problems in the real world."
