The Department of Psychology at George Mason University anticipates two 
openings to begin in Fall 2004 -- one at the senior level, one at the 
junior level. Senior candidates for any research specialization should 
have a history of external funding.

The first position is targeted at a specialization in human-computer 
interaction. Candidates interested in the development of models of 
human learning and performance; the use of these models to predict or 
improve user interfaces or the display of information; or methods for 
analyzing, predicting and evaluating system effectiveness are 
particularly encouraged to apply.
The second position is targeted at either a specialization in human 
performance/human factors or memory or decision-making. Within the area 
of human performance/human factors, candidates interested in modeling 
or predicting user performance with complex systems or training for the 
use of complex systems, particularly in the transportation domain, are 
particularly encouraged. Within the area of memory or decision-making, 
candidates interested in empirical work examining basic processes of 
human memory, problem solving, decision-making, or skilled performance 
are particularly encouraged to apply.

The ideal candidate for all positions will have a Ph.D. in Cognitive 
Psychology or related area. The successful candidate will be expected 
to teach in the undergraduate and graduate programs in the Human 
Factors and Applied Cognitive Program; thus, candidates should have a 
commitment to high quality teaching.

George Mason University is the state university in Northern Virginia. 
Located 15 miles west of Washington, D.C., it is convenient to cultural 
and recreational activities, and funding sources. The psychology 
department has Ph.D. programs in applied cognitive psychology, 
industrial/organizational psychology, developmental, and clinical 
psychology. The successful candidate will be a member of the ARCH Lab. 
The ARCH forms a bridge between cognitive theory and applications. On 
the theory side, we are involved in research on spoken and written 
language processing, visual attention and object perception, strategic 
control of basic cognitive processes, modeling (using connectionist, 
stochastic, and production rule approaches) and the development of 
computational architectures of perception, cognition, and action. On 
the applications side, we have applied this theory in domains such as 
human-computer interaction, aviation, driving, decision making in 
synthetic environments, and computer programming. The ARCH Lab houses 
HFAC faculty, their research facilities, and both undergraduate and 
graduate students in a collaborative and highly productive environment.

Applications will be evaluated starting on October 1, 2003 and will 
continue until suitable candidates are found. A vita, three letters of 
recommendation, a brief statement of research and teaching interests, 
and a cover letter indicating which position you are applying for 
should be sent to: Cognitive Search Committee (Deborah A. Boehm-Davis), 
George Mason University, MSN 3F5, Fairfax, VA 22030-4444. For more 
information about the Human Factors & Applied Cognitive Program, see 
our web page: http://www.hfac.gmu.edu.
We encourage applications from women and minority candidates. George 
Mason University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.
If you have any questions about this position, please contact Deborah 
Boehm-Davis (dbdavis@gmu.edu) or Christopher Kello (ckello@gmu.edu).
