PostDoc in the Georgia Tech Cognitive Engineering Center

The Georgia Tech Cognitive Engineering Center is seeking a post doctoral associate to collaborate with faculty, students, industry and government research labs in preparation of journal papers and proposals, to administer industry interactions, and to assist in its growing graduate and undergraduate educational initiatives. The Cognitive Engineering Center focuses on methods of designing systems that interact with and support cognitive work using a variety of engineering and human factors models and methods. Projects include design of air traffic systems and procedures, large scale simulations of air traffic including human performance models, uninhabited air vehicle systems, cockpit design, educational technology and the learning sciences, human-robotic interaction, and information systems for medical delivery. Applicants must have a Ph.D., a demonstrated interest and ability in cognitive engineering, and be prepared for managerial and supervisory responsibilities. The start date is negotiable; an immediate start is possible and a start date by early summer is preferred. The duration of the position is also negotiable, ranging from a summer position to a full 12 month position. We anticipate a starting salary in the range of $55,000 with good fringe benefits. The Cognitive Engineering Center is located on the Atlanta campus of Georgia Tech; some telecommuting and flex-time considerations can be accomodated. Applications from women and minorities are encouraged. Applicants should provide electronically a summary of their research interests, a vita/resume, and contact information of three references to Amy Pritchett, Lewis Associate Professor of Cognitive Engineering and Director of the Georgia Tech Cognitive Engineering Center at amy.pritchett@ae.gatech.edu

Tenure-track position in Systems Design Engineering, University of Waterloo Canada

Applications are invited for a tenure‑track faculty position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor. The candidates should possess a Ph.D. in engineering and be able to demonstrate strong abilities in both teaching and research. Candidates should be able to teach courses in the areas of human factors, cognitive ergonomics, human-computer interaction, or user-centred design and evaluation. Desirable research areas include, but are not strictly limited to, human-computer interface design, cognitive engineering, situation awareness, human-automation interaction and human performance and safety. Our philosophy is to take a rigorous and multidisciplinary approach to designing human performance support systems based on sound human factors theory and confirmed by performance evaluation. The research group applies this philosophy to a wide range of domains ranging over healthcare, aviation, robotics, process control and others. The successful candidate will be expected to teach both undergraduate and graduate courses, supervise graduate students, and maintain and further develop their research program. Industrial experience and eligibility for registration with the Professional Engineers of Ontario is highly desirable. Additional information on the University and the Department and its activities can be found at http://www.uwaterloo.ca/. Applications should be forwarded to Mrs. V. Grieve, Administrative Assistant, Department of Systems Design Engineering, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, N2L 3G1, or by email to vgrieve@engmail.uwaterloo.ca. Please format your CV in accordance with the instructions provided at http://sydewww.uwaterloo.ca/. Applicants should also include a statement of how their research and teaching goals could contribute to the philosophy of the research group. Applications will be reviewed starting on June 1, 2006. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however Canadian Citizens and Permanent Residents will be given priority. The University of Waterloo encourages applications from all qualified individuals, including women, members of visible minorities, Native peoples, and persons with disabilities. This appointment is subject to the availability of funds, with a desired starting date of September 1, 2006.

Interested candidates are welcome to contact me for further information.

Tenure-track Position in Cognitive Science, The Cognitive Science Department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

The Cognitive Science Department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute invites applications for an anticipated tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor beginning in Fall 2006 or possibly (for the right candidate) Spring 2007. We are seeking candidates who combine computational, mathematical, and/or logic-based modeling informed by experimental research in the areas of perception and action (e.g., motor control, vision, attention), interactive behavior (e.g., integrated models of cognitive systems), or high-level cognition (e.g., skill acquisition, decision making, reasoning). The candidate's interest can be in basic and/or applied theory-based research. Interests in areas such as robotics or high-level computational neuroscience will be considered a strength. However, all disciplines within cognitive science are potential sources of candidates. All candidates are expected to have a strong potential for external funding.

The Cognitive Science Department at Rensselaer is among the world's newest dedicated cognitive science departments, specializing in computational cognitive modeling, perception/action, learning and reasoning (human and machine), and cognitive engineering. The department's primary mission is to carry out seminal basic research and to develop engineering applications within cognitive science. This effort requires the continued growth of its new, research-oriented doctoral program in cognitive science. Department faculty have excellent ties with faculty in Computer Science, Engineering, and Decision Sciences. Women and minorities are especially encouraged to apply. Send curriculum vitae, reprints and preprints of publications, a 1-to-2 page statement of research, a 1-page statement of teaching interests, and three letters of reference to: Search Committee, c/o Heather Hewitt, Cognitive Science Department, Carnegie Building, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute,110 8th Street, Troy, NY 12180. (Direct queries via email to Prof. Wayne D. Gray, grayw@rpi.edu, Chair of the Search Committee.) Applications will be reviewed beginning December 1st and continuing until the position is filled.

Human Factors Assistant/Associate Professor Position, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Institute of Aviation

The Institute of Aviation is seeking applications for a tenure-track facultyappointment at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in human factorspsychology, engineering or aviation. The candidate must have a relevant Ph.D. and will be expected to teach graduate and undergraduate courses.
