It is a vibrant student town with a direct train connection to Schiphol Airport near Amsterdam. The University of Groningen (founded in 1614) has a long tradition of academic excellence, being one of the oldest research universities in Europe. Currently approximately 27,000 students are enrolled and every year about 250 PhD students defend their theses. It has a highly international character: English is the main language in the research laboratories. > > The PhD position is available in the Multi-agent Systems Group in the Institute of Artificial Intelligence (ALICE) at the University of Groningen. The candidate will join the five-year Vici project of Prof. Rineke Verbrugge, comprising six researchers. > > Job description > > The Vici project 'Cognitive systems in interaction: Logical and computational models of higher-order social cognition' > Software agents are capable of recursion in their social reasoning. However, humans lose track of such reasoning after only two or three levels. If software agents work together with human team-mates, they need to take into account the limits of their social cognition. In the Vici project, we investigate children's development and adults' limitations in applying higher-order reasoning, using a close-knit combination of empirical research and formal modelling. Whereas first-order social cognition has been intensely investigated, higher-order social cognition is far less well-understood. This Vici project aims to apply improved understanding of higher-order social reasoning (gained in the current PhD project and another one started in 2009) to design realistic logics, ready for implementation in systems supporting mixed human-computer teams. > > The PhD project: Why is it so hard to apply higher-order social cognition? > Adults apply first-order social cognition ("Mary doesn't know that I ate the chocolate") seemingly without effort. In contrast, adults have difficulty to apply second-order social cognition ("Mary knows that I know that she ate the chocolate"), and even harder to apply third- and higher-order social cognition. In this PhD project, the graduate student investigates what causes this phenomenon. What are the bottlenecks in moving from level 1 to level 2 and from level 2 to level 3? The PhD student combines behavioral experiments and computational cognitive modelling in ACT-R to investigate the bottlenecks in moving from first-order social cognition to higher orders. On the basis of the theory and the modelling results, new ideas for behavioral and fMRI experiments are developed so as to test predictions. Experiments with a dual task help to investigate the role of goal-related memory in social cognition. Finally, the PhD student constructs an integrated computational cognitive model of adults learning to apply higher-order social cognition. > Requirements > > We seek an energetic PhD candidate to carry out this fundamental research project at the forefront of the interdisciplinary combination of cognitive science, logic, and artificial intelligence. The candidate has an MSc degree in cognitive science, artificial intelligence, human-machine communication or psychology, with a strong interest and proven skills in computational cognitive modelling, behavioural experiments and/or fMRI studies. Good analytical skills and a positive attitude towards interdisciplinary work are required. Objective of the 4 year's position is the production of a number of research articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals and a PhD thesis. Teaching duties of 10% of the time are foreseen, for example, supervision of Master's theses. > > Secundary > > The University of Groningen offers a salary of ? 2,042 gross per month in the first year up to a maximum of ? 2,612 gross per month in the fourth year.

For the past few years, a misguided attempt to reform government hiring -- to make it faster -- has made it impossible to advertise these positions for the longer period that would be appropriate. If you are interested do put in an application. An appropriate PhD plus about 5 years of post-doctoral experience is really what is usually required for these positions. I might be able to answer some questions that you would have although I am not really up to date on conditions at ONR.

Our missions continue to evolve but the need to avoid technological surprise and anticipate future Navy and Marine Corps requirements is more important than ever. Autonomy, social media and unmanned systems in ever-widening information networks are providing more capability but risk overwhelming people with information and choices. We need to design systems and train individuals and teams in a way that enables effective and efficient human interaction with complex systems at all system levels. Decision support systems must address tactical, operational and strategic decision-making while exploiting machine-speed computation wherever possible. And we need to establish the science base that will carry the Department of the Navy into an uncertain and challenging future. ONR is recruiting for an interdisciplinary position that crosses psychology, computer science and engineering sciences at the interface of autonomy, command and control and intelligent systems. We are looking for people with strong scientific backgrounds that can bridge the gap from basic research to applied technology development and demonstration. Successful ONR program officers formulate the art of the possible from the state of the art. ONR program officers must show significant S&T leadership and initiative, program advocacy skills and management acumen as well as an ability to work across technical domains and with the military communities we support. Please circulate this email to all interested parties. Free to contact me or my staff directly by email or check our web site to find out more about ONR.
