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:

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)
