[ACT-R-users] Two PHD positions available: DFG funded project COMPAS (TU Berlin & Uni Bielefeld)

[Nele Rußwinkel]

The DFG-funded research project "*Computational modeling of the 
predictive active self in situated action (COMPAS)*" is part of the DFG 
priority program "The Active Self" (SPP 2134) and is conducted in 
collaboration of the TU Berlin (Prof. Nele Russwinkel) and the 
University of Bielefeld, CITEC (Prof. Stefan Kopp).

In the first project phase of the SPP, the foundations were laid to 
investigate the sensorimotor and cognitive processes of self-assessment 
of one's own control when acting in uncertain situations. In addition to 
experimental paradigms, a first computer-based cognitive architecture 
was developed to explain the interaction between sensorimotor and 
cognitive processes of self-assessment and action control and to make 
this transferable to autonomous technical systems. In the subsequent 
second phase (2021-2024), the empirical investigations and modeling work 
will be extended in the direction of multisensory processing and 
task-specific learning in order to understand how people organize their 
actions in multi-task situations and what role their continuous self 
assessment plays in this.

We are seeking applications for two fully funded researcher (Ph.D.) 
positions for 3 years. One positions is located at the TU Berlin with a 
focus on modeling higher-level strategic cognitive processes, the other 
position is located at the University of Bielefeld with a focus on 
prediction-based embodied cognitive processes.
