POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW

Cognitive Modeling of Deductive and Explanatory Reasoning

Navy Center for Applied Research in Artificial Intelligence
------------------------------------------------------------

The Intelligent Systems Section at the Naval Research Laboratory seeks applications for a position of Postdoctoral Fellow in computational cognitive modeling. The postdoctoral fellow will work with Dr. Sunny Khemlani and Dr. Greg Trafton on computational models of deductive and explanatory reasoning.

The ideal candidate has (or will have) a Ph.D. in cognitive psychology, cognitive science, or computer science, with experience in higher level cognition, experimental design and data analysis, cognitive modeling, and a strong programming background (Lisp recommended). Experience in domains of reasoning (e.g., quantificational, sentential, spatio-temporal, causal, explanatory, and probabilistic reasoning) is highly desired. Postdocs will be hired through the NRC Research Associateship Program (http://sites.nationalacademies.org/pga/rap/). Only US citizenship or green card holders are eligible for the program.

The Intelligent Systems Section at the Navy Center for Applied Research in Artificial Intelligence is devoted to basic and applied research in human cognition. The lab is interdisciplinary and focuses on cognitive science, artificial intelligence, cognitive robotics, and human-robot interaction.

Applicants should send a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, relevant journal articles, and three reference letters. Review of complete applications will begin December 1st, 2014. For additional information, please contact Dr. Sunny Khemlani (sunny.khemlani at nrl.navy.mil) or Dr. Greg Trafton (greg.trafton at nrl.navy.mil).
