[ACT-R-users] Research Positions with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory

[GUNZELMANN, GLENN F DR-03 USAF AFMC 711 HPW/RHAC]

**With apologies and respect to our valued colleagues of other nationalities, only U.S. citizens and permanent legal residents of the United States are eligible for these positions.**


The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory's Cognitive Models and Agents Branch has a variety of research positions available for talented cognitive, computational, and computer scientists interested in working on basic and applied cognitive science research. Positions will contribute to various projects spanning the breadth research activities within the branch, including: (a) predictive models of learning and forgetting; (b) decision heuristics; (c) interactive task learning; (d) robustness; (e) simulations of fatigue and vigilance; (f) integrated models of physiology, perception, cognition, and action; (g) autonomous teammates and trainers, and (h) high performance and distributed computing for model testing and validation.

We have a number of full-time, paid positions available to qualified and enthusiastic individuals, including at least the following:

1. Full-time government civilian employee (early to mid-career): Focus is on the application of computational cognitive science and artificial intelligence to autonomy. See position description and application instructions here: https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/427565200
**Note: The application deadline for this is 1 February!!

2. Model developer (multiple opportunities): PhD required. Experience in developing computational models in complex tasks. Preference for a range of experience encompassing multiple modeling approaches spanning multiple levels of abstraction (e.g., Soar; ACT-R; IMPRINT; GOMS)

3. Software engineer: Background/familiarity with cognitive science and artificial intelligence is a benefit

4. Sleep Scientist: Experience in designing and executing experiments involving 24+ hours of total sleep deprivation

5. Research Assistants (B.S. or B.A. in psychology): Experience in experiment design, data collection, and analysis. Experience with R and/or Matlab desired. Experience with EEG also a plus. Excellent writing & communication skills.

All positions are located in Dayton, OH, at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Positions would start as early as June 2016.
