*3 Postdocs available: Cognitive Neuroscience, Risk Modeling, Computer Security and Behavior*
Three postdoctoral positions are available for an interdisciplinary research project at Indiana University, Bloomington in the laboratories of Bennett I. Bertenthal (http://www.indiana.edu/~dcnlab/index.html), L. Jean Camp (http://www.soic.indiana.edu/people/profiles/camp-jean.shtml ) and Diane Henshel (http://www.indiana.edu/~spea/faculty/henshel-dianes%20.shtml). The fellows will be conducting research on a set of interrelated projects investigating the links between visual attention, decision making, human-computer interactions, and computer security risk. The positions will be available for two years (or possibly longer) with a flexible start date, but preference will be given to those who can start immediately. The criteria for the three positions follow, but we would be open to hiring people with skills that cross the three research areas. 1) The candidate must have a PhD in Psychology, Cognitive Science, Neuroscience or a related field. Preferred qualifications include an excellent background in experimental design and cognitive psychology. The following skills are highly desirable but not absolutely necessary: a strong programming background (e.g., Matlab; Psych Toolbox), experience with eye tracking and related measures, such as pupil dilation, experience with psychophysiological measures, and experience with multivariate statistics. 2) The candidate must have a PhD in Computer Science, Informatics, Cognitive Science, Psychology, or Risk/Technical Communication or a related field. Preferred qualifications include excellent programming skills, … and innovative thinking and problem solving. The following skills are highly desirable but not absolutely necessary: 3) The candidate must have a PhD in Risk Assessment, Policy Analysis, Bioinformatics, or a related field. Preferred qualifications include knowledge of risk assessment modeling techniques (especially cumulative risk modeling), benefit cost analysis, bioinformatics tools, social science analytical tools, a strong statistical modeling background, use of a programmable statistics package (SAS, R, or stata preferred), social networking analysis, and demonstrated modeling creativity and thinking. Primary responsibilities for all three positions will include active participation in research and scholarship, undergraduate student mentorship and other research related duties as assigned. Salary and benefits will conform to NIH postdoctoral rates. To apply, please email a statement of research interests, CV, sample publications, and a list of references to [email protected]. Review of applications will continue until the position is filled. Indiana University is an Equal-Opportunity/Affirmative-Action Employer. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply. -- Diane Henshel Indiana University 1315 E 10th #340 Bloomington, IN 47405 812 855-4556 P 812 855-7802 F [email protected]
