[John M. Henderson]

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN COGNITIVE SCIENCE

A postdoctoral position is available in the SIGMA Lab, Cognitive Science 
Program, Michigan State University. The SIGMA Lab is an interdisciplinary 
cognitive science laboratory devoted to investigating rapid, real-time 
decision making for complex information gathering.

Current projects: Members of the lab are pursuing research in attention and 
gaze control, real-world scene perception, object and face recognition, 
spatial navigation, language comprehension and production, and the 
integration of vision, language, and action in complex environments. 
Methods include psychophysical and behavioral experiments, formal 
mathematical modeling and computer simulation, and development of 
algorithms for sequential behavior in robots.

Facilities: Fixed and free-movement eyetrackers, speech synthesis and 
analysis systems, 3D glasses and software for stereo image presentation, 
Aibo robot, electronic pan-tilt camera head, pc and mac platforms for 
behavioral and psychophysical experiments, and pc, mac, and unix 
workstations for math modeling and simulation.

Research Faculty: Fred Dyer, Fernanda Ferreira, John Henderson, and Aude Oliva.

Applicant qualifications: Applications will be considered from Ph.D. 
holders in any area of cognitive science (e.g., cognitive psychology, 
computer science, cognitive neuroscience). Applicants should have a strong 
interest in taking an integrated approach to one or more of the areas of 
study listed above. The position is open only to U.S. citizens and 
permanent residents.

To apply: Applications should send (preferably by email) a letter
