Postdocs available at NRL in cognitive science

Interested in doing a postdoc at an interesting, stable, and safe
location?  We are looking for postdocs even during the
pandemic (and we offer health care).

The Navy Center for Applied Research in Artificial Intelligence
(NCARAI) at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington DC is
looking for 1-2 postdocs to join our team.  Our team is
multidisciplinary and includes cognitive scientists, roboticists, and
computer scientists.

Our lab's focus is primarily on human robot interaction from a
computational cognitive and social perspective.  We have openings for
postdocs who specialize in:

* Human Robot Interaction
* Cognitive Robotics
* Agency
* Social norms and social modeling
* Teaming and teamwork
* Reasoning

We are currently recruiting for projects that focus on interactive
perceptual learning, cognitive/social interaction, and robot teaming.

We will consider people with expertise in any area of cognitive
science, cognitive modeling, social sciences, or robotics, though an
open mind, an ability to work well in medium size groups, and a strong
publishing record are all required.

Our postdoc deadline is August 1, so please contact me immediately
(greg.trafton@nrl.navy.mil) if you are interested in becoming a
postdoc with us.  Our postdoc positions typically last for 2-3 years.
You must be a US citizen to apply for this position.  Pay is ~80K and
includes health insurance, a moving allowance, and a travel allowance;
details about the postdoc program itself are available at
https://www.nrl.navy.mil/careers/post-doc/nrc

We have excellent robotic resources and labs for interesting,
innovative research with robotics.  We collect data through
face-to-face (though not during the pandemic), online, and
naturalistic methods.
