Human Factors Research Scientist-00082796

Job Description

Honeywell Laboratories, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is a world
class research and development center that fuels Honeywell's organic
growth through technology development. Our goal is to conduct a broad
range of strategic R&D to advance key technologies that have potential
as market discriminators for Honeywell business units.

 

One of the hottest of these technologies involves integrating advanced
engineering and modern psychology, which entails the study of human
physiological responses in high workload environments.  Research in this
domain requires an understanding of human attention, information
processing and biological signal processing.  Research and development
in this area requires expertise in conducting workload assessments,
identifying tasks that are appropriate for automation, and developing
new and effective human interfaces for high workload environments.

 

The successful candidate will work as part of the Human Centered Systems
Research Group in the Aerospace Advanced Technology Organization.
Projects range from government-funded basic research to applied
technology implementations into aerospace products, services, and
solutions. 

 

Key attributes for success include: 

*	broad set of skills in human factors and human centered design; 
*	ability to work in team environments (both as a contributor and
a leader); 
*	focused business acumen, including generating new research and
development ideas and writing proposals; and 
*	enthusiasm in contributing to a variety of challenging and
diverse research and development projects. 

 

The candidate will conduct research in neurotechnology and augmented
cognition, and will perform all aspects of human centered research,
including:

*	requirements analyses (function, task, and cognitive analyses); 
*	system interface design, including design of human-centered
functions and functional logic; 
*	development of new human interface devices for information
transmission or to task automation; 
*	empirical evaluation, from informal focus groups to rigorous
controlled experiments

 

Responsibilities include:

*	planning research programs, 
*	writing proposals and pursuing research funding, 
*	developing new system concepts, 
*	designing and conducting research studies, conducting
statistical analyses and reporting results, and 
*	working with business unit personnel to facilitate technology
transfer. 



Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications:

*	Master's Degree in either of the following AND a minimum of
three (3) years of industry experience, or a Ph.D. Degree in either of
the following:

	--Cognitive Psychology with work in Augmented Cognition and/or
Neurophysiological research with brain signals processing

	--Aviation Psychology

	--Computer Science with experience/work in Human Computer
Interaction

*	Excellent verbal and written communication skills are required,
including the ability to make technical presentations and conduct
technical discussions in  scientific conferences. 
*	Due to export control requirements, the candidate must be a U.S.
Citizen or a Permanent Resident. 
*	Ability to travel up to 10%.

 

Preferred Qualifications:

*	Ph.D. Degree in either of the following

	--Cognitive Psychology or Experimental Psychology with focus on
Attention or Augmented Cognition and/or Neurophysiological research with
brain signals processing;

	--Aviation Psychology;

	--Computer Science with experience/work in Human Computer
Interaction; AND

*	Five (5) years or more industry experience in some or all of the
following:

	--Augmented Cognition and/or Neurophysiological research into
brain signals processing relating to functional tasks;

	--Design of Aircraft Cockpit Display, with considerations on
pilot behavior;

	--Functional Task Analysis.   

Please note: We are NOT looking for Human Computer Interface
practitioners who have focused on website design, NOR for Scientists
with backgrounds in Biological Research.

 

 

As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we are committed to a diverse
workforce.
