[ACT-R-users] Postdocs available at NRL

[Greg Trafton]

Interested in doing a postdoc at an interesting, stable, and safe
location?  We are looking for postdocs even during the
pandemic (and we offer health care).

The Navy Center for Applied Research in Artificial Intelligence
(NCARAI) at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington DC is
looking for 1-2 postdocs to join our team.  Our team is
multidisciplinary and includes cognitive scientists, roboticists, and
computer scientists.

Our lab's focus is primarily on human robot interaction from a
computational cognitive and social perspective.  We have openings for
postdocs who specialize in:

* Cognitive Modeling
* Human Robot Interaction
* Cognitive Robotics
* Agency 
* Social norms and social modeling
* Teaming and teamwork
* Reasoning
* Embodied cognition

We are currently recruiting for projects that focus on interactive
perceptual learning, cognitive/social interaction, and robot teaming.

We will consider people with expertise in any area of cognitive
science, cognitive modeling, social sciences, or robotics, though an
open mind, an ability to work well in medium size groups, and a strong
publishing record are all required.

Our postdoc deadline is August 1, so please contact me immediately
(greg.trafton at nrl.navy.mil) if you are interested in becoming a
postdoc with us.  Our postdoc positions typically last for 2-3 years.
You must be a US citizen to apply for this position.  Pay is ~80K and
includes health insurance, a moving allowance, and a travel allowance;
details about the postdoc program itself are available at
https://www.nrl.navy.mil/careers/post-doc/nrc

We have excellent robotic resources and labs for interesting,
innovative research with robotics.  Do you have a cognitive model that
needs a real body?  We have a great opportunity for you.

We also are working on combining cognitive models with AI models
(especially deep networks) focusing on predicting human performance,
individual differences, and learning.
