From coty at cmu.edu Wed Jun 2 19:40:33 2021 From: coty at cmu.edu (Cleotilde Gonzalez) Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2021 23:40:33 +0000 Subject: [ACT-R-users] post-doc position available at Carnegie Mellon University Message-ID: Dear Colleagues, My lab (www.cmu.edu/ddmlab) has a post-doctoral position slot available to start on September 1, 2021. The Post-doctoral fellow will work on the general area of Behavioral Cybersecurity: The study of human behavior in cyber security contexts such as: intrusion detection, phishing, and design of cyber deception. He/She will support the design of experimental studies involving one or more (networked) participants or computational agents; and will also need to be engaged in the development of computational models of individual and collective behavior, using Instance-Based Learning Theory. Required qualifications: -- A Ph.D. (completed by start of employment) in cognitive science or behavioral psychology, human factors engineering, computer engineering or equivalent technical degree. Technical background is required, demonstrating experience in modeling and simulation; for example, a Ph.D. in social psychology with no background on Engineering or Computer Science would not be acceptable. -- Training in behavioral science research methods and statistical analyses. -- Experience with statistical software (preferably R, others acceptable). -- Experience with computational/cognitive modeling (e.g., reinforcement learning, ACT-R models, IBL models). -- Experience with web-based development and databases (Javascript, Nodejs, python, MySQL) -- Demonstrable writing abilities through publications and good communication skills. Desired qualifications: -- Experience working with interdisciplinary, collaborative teams, and managing research assistants. -- Experience with writing research proposals. Duration: This is a full time research position with full benefits, for one year with a possibility of renewal for additional years, conditional on performance and availability of funds. Please apply here before June 30, 2021. https://cmu.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/CMU/job/Pittsburgh-PA/Post-Doctoral-Research-Associate_2016326 Diversity, equity, and inclusion are core values in the Social and Decision Sciences Department at Carnegie Mellon University.

Please feel free to share this posting with those who may be interested, and thanks in advance for helping to spread the word. Cheers, Sunny * * * *POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW* Mental Simulation and Computational Thinking Navy Center for Applied Research in Artificial Intelligence The Reasoning Lab (https://www.khemlani.net/lab/) at the Naval Research Laboratory seeks applications for the position of Postdoctoral Fellow in mental simulation and computational thinking. The Postdoctoral Fellow will join efforts at the Navy Center for Applied Research in Artificial Intelligence to study how humans think and reason in everyday contexts, to study how they simulate aspects of the world around them, and to build computer models of their thinking processes. We're looking for applicants who have (or will have) a Ph.D. in artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology, cognitive science, or computer science. Applicants from diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply. In particular, scientists with any of the following skills are encouraged to apply: thinking and reasoning, experimental design, data analysis, cognitive modeling, and/or a strong programming background. More information about the opportunity, including eligibility criteria, is available here: https://www.nrl.navy.mil/Careers/Post-Docs/NRC/. The stipend for the opportunity is $86,335. 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. I'm happy to answer questions about the opportunity for prospective applicants; you're welcome to get in touch (sunny.khemlani at nrl.navy.mil) with a letter of interest and a CV. Review of complete applications will begin July 1st, 2021. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
