   The Cognitive Science Department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute   
   invites applications for an anticipated tenure-track position at the   
   rank of Assistant Professor beginning in Fall 2006 or possibly (for the   
   right candidate) Spring 2007.  We are seeking candidates who combine   
   computational, mathematical, and/or logic-based modeling informed by   
   experimental research in the areas of perception and action (e.g.,   
   motor control, vision, attention), interactive behavior (e.g.,   
   integrated models of cognitive systems), or high-level cognition (e.g.,   
   skill acquisition, decision making, reasoning). The candidate's   
   interest can be in basic and/or applied theory-based research.   
   Interests in areas such as robotics or high-level computational   
   neuroscience will be considered a strength. However, all disciplines   
   within cognitive science are potential sources of candidates. All   
   candidates are expected to have a strong potential for external   
   funding.   
      
   The Cognitive Science Department at Rensselaer is among the world's   
   newest dedicated cognitive science departments, specializing in   
   computational cognitive modeling, perception/action, learning and   
   reasoning (human and machine), and cognitive engineering.  The   
   department's primary mission is to carry out seminal basic research and   
   to develop engineering applications within cognitive science. This   
   effort requires the continued growth of its new,   
   research-oriented doctoral program in cognitive science.  Department   
   faculty have excellent ties with faculty in Computer Science,   
   Engineering, and Decision Sciences. Women and minorities are especially   
   encouraged to apply. Send curriculum vitae, reprints and preprints of   
   publications, a 1-to-2 page statement of research, a 1-page statement   
   of teaching interests, and three letters of reference to: Search   
   Committee, c/o Heather Hewitt, Cognitive Science Department, Carnegie   
   Building, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, 110   
   8th Street, Troy, NY 12180. (Direct queries via email to Prof. Wayne D.   
   Gray, grayw@rpi.edu, Chair of the Search Committee.) Applications will   
   be reviewed beginning December 1st and continuing until the position is   
   filled.
