OH, performing basic and applied research at the intersection of human and artificial intelligence. We currently have an opening for a full-time PhD-level Cognitive Scientist to work on a research project funded by the US Government aimed at improving counterfactual
reasoning in intelligence analysis. The ultimate goal of the project is to create better intelligence analysis methodologies and to enable analysts to perform accurate "lessons learned" following intelligence failures (e.g., failure to anticipate a significant
geopolitical event, such as military action by an adversary). </span></div>
