Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) invites applications for a Postdoctoral
fellowship position in the area of decision making. This position is
funded by the Army Research Laboratories under the "Advanced Decision
Architectures" cooperative agreement. Our project, entitled "Cognitive
Process Modeling and Measurement" intends to build cognitive models of
decision making and learning in dynamic tasks. Our project is currently
funded for 5 years with a possible extension of 3 years.
The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in Psychology, Cognitive Science,
Decision Science or equivalent, and experience conducting research in real
world environments. We expect candidates to have strong research interests
in all facets of decision making research: conducting cognitive task
analysis of real world situations, helping in the design of computer
simulations that mimic the real world, conducting laboratory studies using
these simulations, analyzing data and writing reports.
Fellows are expected to conduct this research in collaboration with CMU
faculty members and other partner institutions in the alliance team. The
main duty of the post-doctoral fellow is to design, implement and refine
experiments of decision makers in complex environments. Examples of
real-time dynamic environments are: traders in financial markets, pilots in
combat situations, doctors in emergency rooms, air-traffic controllers,
managers in complex manufacturing settings, commanders in battle
situations, etc.
Appointment will pay highly competitive rates based on background and
experience. Anticipated start date is October 1, 2001. Applicants should
send curriculum vitae, relevant journal articles, a letter of research
interests, and three reference letters to: Dr. Cleotilde Gonzalez, Social
and Decision Sciences, Carnegie Mellon University, 5000 Forbes Ave.
Pittsburgh, PA 15213. Electronic applications are encouraged. Please send
electronic documents (Word, Pdf) to: coty@cmu.edu.
