Anne P Hillstrom The Department of Psychology at George Mason University has a
tenure-track position available in Applied Cognition/Human Factors and a
second position available for a faculty member with strong quantitative
skills. Both positions are targeted at junior candidates; however,
candidates with external funding may be considered for higher ranks.
Candidates for these positions must demonstrate scholarship capable of
attracting external funding and strong teaching potential/experience.

For the Applied Cognition/Human Factors position, we seek cognitively
oriented human factors researchers who closely integrate theory and
application. The position is open to a variety of research
specializations, as long as the research advances cognitive theory in
the context of real-world problems. We particularly seek researchers
working on applications in areas such as, but not limited to,
transportation, medical systems, human-computer interaction, cognitive
aging, and cognitive modeling. The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in
Cognitive Psychology, Applied-Experimental Psychology, Human Factors,
Human-Computer Interaction or related area and experience developing
cognitive theory. The successful candidate will be expected to teach in
the undergraduate and graduate programs in the Human Factors and Applied
Cognitive Program. Candidates capable of teaching advanced methodology
courses are especially encouraged. Applications will be evaluated
starting on November 15, 2004 and will continue until a suitable
candidate is found. A vita, three letters of recommendation, and a brief
statement of research and teaching interests should be sent to:
Cognitive Search Committee (Deborah A. Boehm-Davis), George Mason
University, MSN 3F5, Fairfax, VA 22030-4444. For more information about

position, please contact Deborah Boehm-Davis (dbdavis@gmu.edu).

For the quantitative position, primary teaching responsibilities will
involve basic and advanced quantitative methods at the graduate level.
Area of research specialization is open, though persons whose interests
align with one of our doctoral programs are especially encouraged to
apply. The psychology department has doctoral programs in applied
cognitive psychology, industrial/organizational psychology,
developmental, and clinical psychology. For more info, go to
