The position is for 3 years with an optional extension up to 5 years. You will work in a national German Project in the Maritime domain with leading scientists in the field of Human-Machine Interaction and with experts from the Maritime Industry. One objective of the project is to use human models of seafarers within a human-machine simulation environment to simulate interaction between seafarers, port operators and advanced e-navigation systems. You will perform research work in the field of cognitive modelling of seafarers? decision making processes based on an existing model architecture. You will implement a cognitive modelling concept into executable program code in order to perform model-based simulations of various maritime scenarios. The resulting simulation platform will be applied for assessment of navigation system designs. Our requirements: You should be highly motivated and possess the competence to work 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, Cognitive Psychology or a related discipline. Software implementation competence is required. An interest in, knowledge on and preferably experience with, either Cognitive Science, Human Factors, Artificial Intelligence, Software Development and/or Assistance Systems are essential. What we offer: 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 possi?bilities. Oldenburg is located near Bremen and Hamburg with the North Sea only few kilometres away. OFFIS is an institute for information technology with an international focus. For our employees, we offer a professionally and socially attractive working environment. As an academic institute, we have in cooperation with the University excellent opportunities for the development of professional and personal skills in a scientific environment. The salary will be dependent on the qualifications and performance.

Following previous ACT-R events in 2010, 2011 and 2013, the University of Groningen will host a spring school and master class. Spring School Participants will follow a compressed five-day version of the traditional summer school curriculum. The standard curriculum is structured as a set of six units, of which we will cover five in the course of the week. Each unit lasts a day and involves a morning theory lecture, an afternoon discussion session on advanced topics, and an assignment which participants are expected to complete during the day. The last day will be devoted to discussions and presentations by participants. Computing facilities will be provided or attendees can bring their own laptop on which the ACT-R software will be installed. To provide an optimal learning environment, admission is limited. Prospective participants should submit an application by January 27, consisting of a curriculum vitae and a statement of purpose. Demonstrated experience with a modeling formalism similar to ACT-R will strengthen the application, as well as general programming experience. Applicants will be notified of admission by February 3. Master Class: Work on your own project Organized parallel to the spring school, the master class offers the opportunity for modelers to work on their own projects with guidance from experienced ACT-R modelers. Note that signing up for the Master Class assumes some prior ACT-R experience, either through self-study, or having followed an earlier ACT-R spring or summer school. Participation in the Master Class is open to all who have some prerequisite ACT-R experience through prior Summer or Spring schools. Please also register before January 27th. PRIM/Actransfer tutorial For those interested in modeling transfer, a tutorial will be offered about the new Actransfer extension to ACT-R. See http://www.ai.rug.nl/~niels/actransfer.html for more information. Registrations fees and housing Registration fee: Euro 200 Housing will be offered in the university guesthouse for approximately 61 Euro /day (single, double rooms are around Euro 78.50, Breakfast is 10 Euro/person). Registration To apply to the 2014 Spring School or Master Class, send an email to Hedderik van Rijn (hedderik at van-rijn.org) and attach the requested documents before January 27, 2014. ================================================= Niels Taatgen - Professor University of Groningen, Artificial Intelligence web: http://www.ai.rug.nl/~niels email: n.a.taatgen at rug.nl Telephone: +31 50 3636435 Office: Bernoulliborg 322 ================================================= -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
