[ACT-R-users] Two job openings at OFFIS, Germany (Cognitive Modelling)

[Andreas Luedtke]

Could you please post the following job openings?


The OFFIS Research Division Transportation (www.offis.de) has open 
positions for two research assistants on a full-time basis available 
immediately. 
The positions are for 3 years with an optional extension up to 5 years. 

Position 1: Postdoc with a Mangement Role
Position 2: Doctoral candidate for Human-Machine Interaction

You will work in a German Project in the Transportation domain with 
leading scientists in the field of Human-Machine Interaction and with 
experts from the Transportation Industry. 

Both positions foresee to work with a team to research and model human 
behaviour. You will define requirements for a cognitive model/task model 
in cooperation with experts from the application domain; you will specify 
conceptual enhancements of an existing model architecture and will 
implement this concept into executable code. Furthermore, you will 
participate to the definition of simulator experiments and will elaborate 
a methodology to validate the model by comparing model predicted data and 
actual human behaviour. The resulting model is intended to be applied for 
assessment of system performance and usability, furthermore, for 
assistance systems and autonomous transportation systems.

You should be highly motivated and posses the competence to work 
independently in a team. You should enjoy facing interdisciplinary 
challenges. As an application-oriented researcher you are interested in 
communicating and cooperating with industrial partners. 

We expect an outstanding M.Sc. or Diploma in Computer Science or a related 
discipline with a strong programming background. An interest in, and 
preferably experience with, either Cognitive Science, Artificial 
Intelligence, Software Development and Assistance Systems are essential 
for both positions.

Position 1 (postdoc) has a strong focus on the management of the project 
including the management of the human modeling activities. For this 
position a completed doctoral thesis and experience in leading research 
teams is required.

German language skills are useful, but not mandatory. OFFIS is located in 
Oldenburg (north western Germany). A dynamic university city with a 
distinct sense of personality and an unique quality of life offering many 
cultural and free time possibilities. Oldenburg is located near Bremen and 
Hamburg with the North Sea only few kilometres away. 

We offer a salary according to your qualifications and experience. 

As a research institute and in cooperation with the University of 
Oldenburg OFFIS offers excellent opportunities for scientific careers.

For more information, please contact the Head of the Department: 
Prof. Dr. Bernhard Josko (josko (at) offis.de, Tel. +49-441-9722-520)
