Uncertainty Visualization and Adaptation to Novel Technologies

Overview

Uncertainty Visualization and Adaptation to Novel Technologies role at ORAU. DEVCOM US Army Research Lab is looking for a postdoc to join a collaborative, interdisciplinary team doing basic research on visualizations of uncertain data in traditional (e.g. 2-d static displays) and novel (e.g. dynamic, immersive VR) contexts and on user adaptation to unfamiliar technologies generally. We are especially interested in individual differences measures associated with the ability to rapidly adapt to a range of novel technologies including successful use of uncertainty visualizations; training approaches to improve reasoning with uncertainty and other adaptation skills; and the relationship between reasoning with uncertainty and adaptability to novel, complex environments, situations, and technologies. The team is based in Los Angeles, California, but remote research from another ARL facility may be possible. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to do high quality, basic research while gaining experience in a government research environment.
