Research Associate Position

Applications are invited for a research associate position on a new
research project that is modeling aspects of multimodal interaction
and human performance, as well as designing and prototyping new
multimodal systems. Project research areas include user modeling of
multimodal interaction, user/system learning and adaptive multimodal
processing, collaborative multimodal interaction, multimodal dialogue
and processing techniques, mobile and multimodal-multisensor interface
design, and other topics.

Applicants are encouraged to apply who have a masters degree in a
relevant field (Experimental Psychology/Cognitive Science,
Linguistics/Computational Linguistics, Computer Science &
Engineering), plus at least 2 years of work experience. Applicants

human language and performance, doing statistical analysis, and
working in the area of human-computer interaction and interface
design. Extensive experience also needed with basic office software
for text processing, spreadsheets, preparation of talks, and

modeling of data, speech signal analysis and use of related software
(e.g., Praat) also highly desirable. Applicants with experience
participating in multidisciplinary team-oriented research are
especially encouraged.

This work is being conducted in a state-of-the-art laboratory facility
at the Center for Human-Computer Communication (CHCC) at the Oregon
