Two Positions Available

[John F. Kolen]

The Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC) at the University of West
Florida has immediate openings for a visiting research scientist and a visiting
research programmer.

The successful visiting research scientist candidate must hold a Ph.D. in
computer science (or equivalent qualification) and have a depth of knowledge in
neural networks and computational modeling.  Current projects include laser
marksmen modeling, spectral analysis of inhomogeneous minerals, and image
classification.

The successful visiting research programmer candidate must hold a M.S. in
computer science (or equivalent qualification) and have C++ programming
experience.  Knowledge of neural networks and computational modeling is
expected.  Experience with optics, image processing, spectrometry, geology,
human performance, or modeling real-world data will be helpful.

Both positions are contingent on project funding.  Applicants may be asked to
obtain a security clearence with the U.S. Department of Defense. Current
projects include laser marksmen modeling, spectral analysis of heterogeneous
minerals, and classification of geological formations from images.

Many IHMC projects involve interdisciplinary team work, and we are looking for
persons who enjoy collaboration with others. Currently, interdisciplinary
research is underway in the computational and philosophical foundations of AI,
computer-mediated communication and collaboration, smart machines in education,
knowledge-based systems, multimedia browsers, fuzzy logic, neural networks,
software agents, spatial and temporal reasoning, diagnostic systems, cognitive
psychology, reasoning under uncertainty and the design of electronic
spaces. Salaries will be commensurate with the levels of qualification.

The IHMC was founded with legislative support in 1989 as an interdiscipliary
research unit. Additionally, IHMC has succeeded in securing substantial
extramural support and has established an enviable research and publication
record. Visit the IHMC web page at http://www.coginst.uwf.edu for more
information.

The University of West Florida is situated in a 1000-acre protected nature
preserve bordering the Escambia River, and is approximately 14 miles north of
the country's finest white sand beaches. New Orleans is 3 hours away by
car.
