Internship in ACT-R programming:
Job description: UtopiaCompression Corporation is seeking qualified  
interns with significant experience in ACT-R architecture (LISP  
programming) to help develop and enhance existing cognition models to  
better emulate emotion reactivity and social-cultural biases similar  
to that of human subjects. The end solution is to use these refined- 
cognitive models to behave as agents in an immersive environment to  
help warfighters make better decisions in tactical or socio-cultural  
settings.

  Required skills:

- Degree requirements: Preferably Ph.D. (but Masters will also be  
considered) in Cognitive Neuroscience or Cognitive Psychology

Desired Skills:

- Preference will be given to applicants who have understanding of  
fMRI imaging and can use the neuroimaging data to better augment the  
ACT-R models

- Applicant must be self-motivated, able to work independently and as  
part of team

- Excellent communication skills (written and oral) are mandatory

Motivation: The current project is a Phase I SBIR project from Office  
of Naval Research. If UtopiaCompression is awarded a subsequent Phase  
II, a full-time position will be extended to the intern based on his/ 
her performance during Phase I execution.

Benefits: Salary commensurate with experience

Work hours: Minimum 25 hours per week
