~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BRITISH HCI GROUP ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ http://www.bcs.org.uk/hci/ ~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NEWS SERVICE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ All news to:[log in to unmask] ~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ Newsarchives: ~~ ~~ http://www.mailbase.ac.uk/lists/bcs-hci/ ~~ ~~ archive.html ~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Several openings are anticipated for postdoctoral fellows in Lynn Reder's lab in the Department of Psychology at Carnegie Mellon University (the exact number depends in part on whether current fellows remain in the lab). The anticipated length of fellowship is two years. There are three projects, all involving computational modeling of human behavioral data. Please see http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/ldaily/workmem.html for a brief description of the project that involves modeling individual differences in working memory using ACT-R (http://act.psy.cmu.edu/). Please see http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/erickson/sac.html for a description of some of the modeling efforts using a simpler framework called SAC. A new project that is just starting involves collecting fMRI data and predicting patterns of activation based on SAC~s predictions, and using the imaging data to inform the development of the theory. Please see http://neurocog.lrdc.pitt.edu/~ws/Durip.htm for a little more information on this project (there are no specifics here because we have not yet begun work on this project.). Candidates must have completed their doctoral dissertation by early to mid-summer, 1999 and have a background that enables involvement in computational modeling (e.g., programming experience). Applications will be accepted until March 10, 1999. Please send hardcopy (not electronic) applications to: Professor Lynne Reder Dept. of Psychology Carnegie Mellon Univ. Pittsburgh, PA 15208. Applications should include names of those who could send letters of reference, a vita and qualifications, anticipated degree date, and any other information deemed relevant. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ NOTE: Please reply to article's originator, ~~ ~~ not the News Service ~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ To receive HCI news, send the message: ~~ ~~ "JOIN BCS-HCI your_firstname your_lastname" ~~ ~~ to [log in to unmask] ~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ To join the British HCI Group, contact ~~ ~~ [log in to unmask] ~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
