Responsibilities include: (60%) Data analysis. Pre-processing, descriptive, and inferential statistical data analysis of large datasets from HPO experiments spanning the physical, cognitive, and social domains. (30%) Reporting findings. Writing journal papers. Presenting at local, national, and international conferences. (5%) Software and data maintenance and documentation. (5%) Collaboration with other lab members. Candidates must have a PhD in Cognitive Science, Psychology, Computer Science, or other related discipline. Strong background and familiarity with data analysis techniques and tools are required. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in programming and interest in computational cognitive modeling. The position is available immediately and will remain open until filled. Starting salary: 50,000 USD. The term is for one year and is potentially renewable depending on grant funding. Special Contract terms and condition of employment apply.

As part of our multi-year hiring plan, the Department of Psychology at Syracuse University invites applications to two full-time, tenure-track positions at the rank of assistant professor. This recruitment is part of ongoing ambitious Invest Syracuse initiatives in (1) Aging, Behavioral Health, and Neuroscience, and (2) Computational Cognitive Science, with one current opening in each area. Candidates must have a program of research with potential to attract extramural funding and be committed to excellence in teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels, mentorship in undergraduate and doctoral student research and engage in department, college, and university-level service activities. In Aging, the Department seeks an individual with a research program focused on developing or extending models of human cognition to describe and explain lifespan changes due to aging. We especially seek individuals with expertise in advanced computational modeling techniques. As an integral part of the Invest Syracuse investment, Syracuse University is recruiting multiple candidates for faculty positions with a focus on healthy aging. Faculty hired into these positions will build on existing strengths in the Syracuse University Aging Studies Institute (https://asi.syr.edu/) and will participate in an organized research cluster. In Computational Cognitive Science the Department seeks an individual who will broaden our existing strength in computational cognitive modeling by being able to operate near the intersection of Cognitive Psychology with domains such as AI, Machine Learning, and Computational Linguistics. This position will leverage the research cluster in AI, Deep Learning & Autonomous Systems, which spans departments in Arts & Sciences, Engineering & Computer Science, Law, and the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. In addition to skills and experience specific to their position, candidates should demonstrate excellence in cultural competence, including the ability to communicate effectively with people across cultures.

I haven't upgraded a machine yet to do any testing, so I don't know if other Lisps will run or not. If they do, something else to note is that the normal ACT-R Environment application isn't going to run either since it's a 32-bit application, but the alternative browser-based version of the Environment might work since it is a 64-bit app. I should have a 64-bit version of the normal Environment available soon, but I don't know when CCL will be working so that I can build a new standalone version.

It looks like they're trying to fix the issues with 10.15 not working, but in the process they've apparently broken it for older versions. The updated version doesn't work under 10.14 or 10.13 on my machines. Dan
