Looking for Ph.D.

students with interest in cognitive modeling

The Cognitive Modeling Group in the Department of Psychology at Wright State

University is seeking candidates for multiple funded graduate student positions.
The group is lead by Drs. Ion Juvina (psych-scholar.wright.edu/ijuvina) and Joseph
Houpt (www.wright.edu/~joseph.houpt). We work in areas ranging from low-level
perceptual modeling to high-level cognitive processes such as decision-making and
cognitive control. Our interests include both computational modeling, particularly
with ACT-R, and mathematical modeling, including dynamic systems and stochastic
processes.

Graduate students will have the opportunity to work on both theoretical and
applied problems. Our group has active collaborations with a number of groups at
the nearby Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, as well as connections in academia and
industry. Students will work toward a Ph.D. in Human Factors Psychology with a
minor in Industrial/Organizational Psychology.

We are seeking candidates who have backgrounds in cognitive science, psychology,

neuroscience, mathematics, computer science or engineering. Candidates should be
able to communicate effectively in English, both in writing and speaking. Additional
desired qualifications include programming skills (especially in R, Matlab, Lisp or
Python); experience with statistical analysis and modeling (especially in R or
Matlab); and experience with fMRI or EEG data collection and analysis.

Applications must be received by January 1, 2013. Required application materials

are a statement of research interests, three letters of recommendation, official
transcripts and an official copy of your GRE scores. For information on application
procedures, see:
