Information Science/Human Information Interaction Research

A fellowship opportunity is available with the U.S. Army Research Laboratory's (ARL) Computational and Information Sciences Directorate (CISD) located in Adelphi, MD. ARL is seeking a postdoc with a background in computational recommendations, machine learning, and statistical analysis. Research opportunities are available to develop methods to efficiently create algorithms and programs that enable efficient computational recommendations by capturing individual characteristics of users, detailed cognition of users including domain knowledge and situational awareness, user behavior, and decision outcomes. Research will ultimately allow development and deployment of intelligent Command and Control systems and platforms that incorporate user preferences and machine learning explanation. Research requires extensive experience in interactive visual systems, machine learning, and statistical analysis of data including data from user-studies. The Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL-RAP) is designed to significantly increase the involvement of creative and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia and industry in scientific and technical areas of interest and relevance to the Army.
