Post Doc Positions at PSLC



Applications are invited for 2 post-doctoral positions for researchers with interest in learning and motivation. We are looking for cognitive science PhD's (education, psychology, learning science, computer science, or human-computer interaction) to join Drs. Timothy Nokes and Vincent Aleven in a NSF-funded project at the Pittsburgh Science of Learning Center to examine learning at the intersection of cognition, motivation, and emotion. The post-doc will be involved in helping design, conduct, analyze, and write-up research at the Pittsburgh Science of Learning Center (PSLC).

Candidates with a strong grounding in educational psychology or cognitive science, as well as candidates with a strong background in learning technologies or technology-enhanced learning including applied machine learning, affective computing, and user modeling will be considered. Each position is for two years, with one appointment to be made at the Learning Research and Development Center at the University of Pittsburgh and the other at the Human Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.

Target start date: August / September 2009
