The Cognitive Science Program at Indiana University invites
applications from outstanding students for its NSF-funded graduate
training program in the dynamics of brain-body-environment systems
in behavior and cognition.
The goal of the program is to train doctoral students to think
across traditional levels of analysis in the cognitive, behavioral
and brain sciences. In order to accomplish this goal, we have
developed new courses in situated, embodied and dynamical cognitive
science, a professional development seminar, summer research
internships, an annual research showcase and a colloquium series
offering extended opportunities for trainees to interact with
visiting speakers.
Benefits for students entering this program include a $30,000 annual
stipend, full tuition, and coverage of additional fees and health
insurance.
Our interdisciplinary training group includes cognitive science
faculty from the Departments of Psychological and Brain Sciences,
Physics, and History & Philosophy of Science, as well as from the
School of Informatics and Computing. In addition, we have strong
partnerships with top researchers in the fields of dynamical,
embodied and situated approaches to behavior and cognition, both
nationally and internationally.
Applications are due January 15. Only U.S. citizens and permanent
residents are eligible for funding through this training program.

We are seeking applicants with outstanding research programs in any area of Quantitative Psychology. A Ph.D. by August 2010 is required. UVA's program has recently obtained five years of quantitative training support from the National Institute on Aging so a commitment to aging research while not essential, is a definite positive. To apply, candidates must submit a candidate profile, cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching statement, research statement, two copies of relevant publications, and contact information for three references, through Jobs@UVA (https://jobs.virginia.edu); posting number is 0604589. For immediate consideration, please submit the required documents by December 1, 2009; however, this position will remain open until filled. Candidates are also required to have three letters of recommendation mailed to the following address: Chair, Quantitative Search Committee, Department of Psychology, University of Virginia, P.O. Box 400400, Charlottesville, VA 22904-4400. The University of Virginia is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer.

Two year post doc position available at:
School of Psychology
The University of Queensland
Brisbane
Qld 4072
Australia
The post doc position forms part of The University of Queensland's contribution to a human performance modelling project within NICTA. The Co-Investigators on this project are Andrew Neal, Mike Humphreys and Roger Remington.
Goal of the project:
To develop better methods for simulating human performance and workload in dynamic systems, such as air traffic control. The core element of the approach is the simulation of expert decision making. We are trying to build a model that is capable of performing taks such as conflict resolution and arrivals sequencing, using the "fast and frugal" heuristics that expert controllers use. One of the major phenomena that we are trying to capture in our model is the way that controllers adapt decision strategies in order to maintain workload within safe bounds.
We are looking for a PhD graduate with experience in cognitive modelling. Experience in working on applied problems would be a bonus, but is not necessary.
