The Department of Psychology is seeking a leading scientist in the development of computational models of human behavior. We are particularly interested in a researcher whose work can be applied to technology-intensive learning environments to build rich models of how individual differences in cognitive and affective functions interact with technology. The successful applicant will work in close collaboration with other NC State researchers involved in the Digital Transformation of Education research cluster. In addition, the individual will serve as core faculty in the one of the department's five Ph.D.-granting specializations: lifespan developmental, human factors & ergonomics, industrial/organizational, school psychology, and psychology in the public interest.
