Post-Doc Opportunity in Neurobiology, Cognition, and Behavior Research: Decoding/forecasting individual and group movement patterns in complex (urban) landscape environments through multi-agent modeling incorporating multi-modal sensory perception/integration, cognition, and decision-making at the individual level. Organization: U.S. Army Engineer Research & Development Center (Environmental Lab), Cognitive Ecology & Ecohydraulics Team. Salary: $55,000-65,000 / yr. Location: Portland, Oregon. Length: ~3 yrs (Spring 2009 - September 2011). Degree Required: Ph.D. or equivalent. Skills Required: one or more of the following at the individual (human or animal) level: neurobiology, mathematical psychology, quantitative analysis of behavior, cognitive ecology, signal processing, time-series forecasting, intelligent software agents, game theory, multi-modal sensory integration, cognitive decision making. Intellectual Interests: perception, cognition, decision-making, individual/group/collective behavior, real-world social/asocial environments, math/algorithms, modeling. Project Details: This basic research project is focused on developing new theory and algorithms necessary to support development of a multi-agent simulation tool for decoding/forecasting the movement patterns of individuals and small groups in highly complex urban environments. The Post-Doc will lead research and development of new theory and algorithms integrating the latest knowledge in multi-modal sensory perception/integration, cognition, learning, and adaptation into intelligent software agents that will form an Eulerian-Lagrangian-agent method (ELAM) model (see [1]http://el.erdc.usace.army.mil/emrrp/nfs/elam.html ). The Post-Doc is expected to be adept at learning and integrating knowledge from a wide variety of scientific disciplines.
