PSYCHOLOGY POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP
AT THE COMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH CENTRE, OTTAWA
The Division of Behavioural Research in the federal Department of
Communications will have an opening for an NSERC Visiting Fellow in
1989/90. This position requires completion of a Ph.D. and would be of
interest to psychologists who have concentrated their studies in one of
the areas listed below.
The Division of Behavioural Research is a group of psychologists at the
Communications Research Centre in Ottawa who study the human response to
new communications and information technologies. This research covers a
broad range of topics in perception, cognitive psychology, social
psychology and artificial intelligence.
For example, some current studies are dedicated to developing standards
for high definition television, discovering methods of using natural
language to browse through electronic databases, and understanding the
role of visual animation in computer-aided learning.
This fellowship is offered for one year with a possible renewal for a
second year. Currently, the fellowship has an annual value of $28,992.
Any person who will have defended a doctoral thesis in social or
experimental psychology before the end of 1988 is eligible. An interest
in computers or computer usage would be an asset. Specific knowledge
about communications technologies or communications research is not
required.
