Our past sponsors include organizations such as DARPA, IARPA, Air Force Research Laboratory, and the Office of Naval Research. NOTE: This is a great opportunity for an academic research scientist who is looking for a career change but who wants to continue pursuing original research! REQUIRED: 1. US citizenship or green card. 2. PhD in Cognitive Science, Psychology, Neuroscience, Social-Behavioral Sciences, Human Factors, or related discipline. 3. Experience leading and/or contributing substantially to successful research proposals (need not be defense-related; could include NSF, NIH, etc.). 4. 5+ years direct research experience (includes postdoctoral research). 5. Strong publication record as lead author or senior author in high-impact journals/conferences. 6. Excellent written and oral presentation skills. 7. Strong quantitative / data analysis skills. 8. A highly collaborative mindset. PREFERRED: 1. Experience with computational modeling of cognitive process (e.g., learning and memory, judgment and decision making). 2. Prior research involving topics at the intersection of human and machine intelligence (e.g., human-in-the-loop active learning, mixed initiative human-machine dialogue, explainable AI, etc.). 3. Experience leading and mentoring junior colleagues (e.g., graduate students, postdoctoral fellows).
