> The Transregional Collaborative Research Center
> SFB/TR 8 Spatial Cognition: Reasoning, Action, Interaction
> at the Universities of Bremen and Freiburg, Germany
>
> pursues interdisciplinary long-term research in Spatial Cognition.
> Particular emphasis is given to:
>
> • Spatial Reasoning: Knowledge representation, human spatial thinking,
> computational modeling, diagrammatic reasoning, cognitive and
computational
> complexity, qualitative spatio-temporal calculi;
>
> • Action in Space: Cognitive robotics, explorative localization and
> mapping, robot navigation, human navigation and wayfinding, sensorimotor
> representations of spatio-temporal structures, embodied cognition;
>
> • Communication and Interaction in Space: Formal methods, spatial and
> linguistic ontologies, computational linguistics, environmental cognition,
> integration of spatial methods.

> ****************************************************************
>
> Postdoctoral Researcher / Doctoral Research Assistant
> SFB/TR 8 project I2-[MapSpace], Universität Bremen
> (BAT IIa, approx. €40,000 to €50,000 p.a. gross)
>
> in one or several of the areas: Artificial Intelligence / Knowledge
> Representation / Cognitive Design / Cognitive Geography / Cognitive
> Modeling.
>
> The research project I2-[MapSpace] is concerned with the conceptualization
> of space and its role in the interaction between humans and spatial
> representations, specifically schematic maps. Research tasks include the
> conception of abstractions and categorizations of spatial knowledge for
> map-like representations and the development of a representation-theoretic
> account of schematic maps. Interest and experience in cognitive science
> research in an interdisciplinary research team is expected.
>
> We offer an opportunity to gain research and teaching experience in a
modern
> and enthusiastic research environment with strong interdisciplinary and
> international links. Duties include project management, research and
> publication of research results, guidance of student researchers,
> participation in the activities of the SFB/TR 8, contributing to research
> proposals.
