[I hope this message fits the netiquette of this list; I checked the terms on the website, and since this job opening is centrally concerned with ECLiPSe, I believe it's appropriate.] Here's a description of the opening: Experiments in social psychology have shown that people spontaneously attribute intentions, beliefs, emotions, and other mental states to simply-animated, moving figures. Although there is research on what factors affect people's tendency to make such attributions, there has been little work on developing a process model. Although our initial aim is to develop a process-oriented account, we believe that a computational model of such attributions could have a variety of practical applications such as monitoring systems for assisted living and for security. Our approach involves creating a knowledge base that links movement patterns to mental states that typically motivate them. An important aspect of the movement pattern knowledge is a variety of geometric spatial constraints, which need to be formulated in a logic-based constraint framework such as ECLiPSe (http://eclipse-clp.org/). We are looking for a recent PhD (or highly motivated science graduate) who has experience with constraint propagation techniques and an interest in cognitive or perceptual modelling. Hands-on experience with ECLiPSe is strongly preferred.
