Post-Doctoral Fellowship: Computer Scientist/ Computational Psychologist needed for auditory/multisensory research (UNCLASSIFIED)



CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED

Applicants must be a US Citizen and may not hold dual citizenship
(apologies!)

Post-Doctoral Fellowship Opportunity at the US Army Research Laboratory:
Applications are invited for a computer scientist or a computational
psychologist. The auditory research team at the U.S. Army Research
Laboratory conducts research on the effects of the military environment on
Soldier hearing and communication. The post-doctoral fellow would develop
computerized simulations and/or psychophysical models of Soldier performance
as a function of both the physical/acoustic and perceptual features of the
operational environment. Expertise with Matlab, Java, or other coding
platform required. Background with R, SPSS, and E-prime and experience with
unstructured data sets desirable but not required. Post-docs with existing
collaborative relationships and experience working on multidisciplinary
teams preferred but not required. 

The post-doctoral fellow would work as a member of the Perceptual Sciences
Branch in the Human Research and Engineering Directorate, U.S. Army Research
Laboratory (ARL).

The Human Research and Engineering Directorate (HRED) is the principal
center of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory conducting research directed
toward optimizing Soldier performance and man-machine interactions. HRED's
scientific research in Soldier performance is directed toward the
development of human engineering as well as cognitive, perceptual, and
sensory neuroscience technologies and design principles to protect and
extend and enhance the Soldier's performance under hostile and highly
stressed conditions. HRED examines human performance in the perceptual,
cognitive, and psychomotor domains in order to increase the body of
knowledge of human capabilities and limitations, and to assess the impact of
emerging technologies on Soldier performance. The Auditory Research Group
carries out research activities in auditory displays, bone conduction
communications, speech communication, stealthy military operations, and
methods of hearing enhancement and protection.

The successful applicant should have a Ph.D. in audiology or other related
discipline; be a U.S. citizen; and have or be able to obtain a secret
security clearance. Familiarity with digital audio and programming expertise
in C++, Visual Basic, or Matlab are a plus. The initial contract is for a
twelve month period.

ARL is part of the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command,
which has the mission to develop technology and engineering solutions for
America's Soldiers. Additional information about the Army Research
Laboratory is available at: http://www.arl.army.mil.
