Postdoctoral Fellowship in Computational Models of Reasoning, Washington DC (U.S.A.), Deadline: 15 Aug 2017

-----------------------------------------------------------
Postdoctoral Fellow in Computational Models of Reasoning

Intelligent Systems Section
Navy Center for Applied Research in Artificial Intelligence
-----------------------------------------------------------

The Artificial Intelligence Center at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) 
is seeking applicants for multiple postdoctoral positions to collaborate 
on ongoing development towards a unified computational framework of 
explanatory and deductive reasoning. The postdoc will develop his or her 
own research program in addition to working with Dr. Sunny Khemlani and 
Dr. Greg Trafton at NRL's headquarters in Washington, DC. The position 
will involve building and applying computational models to simulate human 
reasoning data. Recent work in the lab has focused on how people engage in 
explanatory reasoning, how they reason about causality, and how they 
reason about time and temporal relations.

The ideal candidate has (or will have) a Ph.D. in computer science, 
cognitive science, cognitive psychology, or a related discipline, as well 
as a strong foundation in computer programming and an interest in building 
intelligent agents that reason the way humans do. Postdocs will be hired 
through the NRC Research Associateship Program, and the fellowship lasts 
up to 3 years. Funding includes a yearly stipend ($77,000) as well as 
travel, relocation, and health benefits. Only US citizenship or green card 
holders are eligible for the program.

The Intelligent Systems Section at the Navy Center for Applied Research in 
Artificial Intelligence is devoted to basic and applied research in human 
cognition. The lab is interdisciplinary and focuses on cognitive science, 
reasoning, cognitive robotics, human-robot interaction, embodied 
cognition, spatial cognition, object recognition, memory, and 
categorization.

Applicants should send a letter of interest and a curriculum vitae to Dr. 
Sunny Khemlani (sunny.khemlani@nrl.navy.mil). Review of applications will 
begin August 15th, 2017.
