Junior research position in Cognitive Architecture, Marina del Rey CA (U.S.A.)

Junior research opening at USC/ICT
Contact: Gratch@Ict.usc.edu

We are looking to hire a junior researcher to focus on cognitive architecture 
research within the context of our virtual human research efforts.  The 
position would have primary responsibility over envisioning the next-generation 
of cognitive architecture that would support real-time multi-modal interactions 
with human users within emotionally-evocative virtual simulations.  The 
candidate is expected to collaborate closely with a multi-disciplinary research 
team including research in emotion modeling, natural language processing, and 
nonverbal behavior recognition and synthesis.  Below are listed some research 
publications upon which the research is expected to build.  Interested 
candidates should send a vita to me at Gratch@Ict.usc.edu
