> About the ACS Lab:  http://acs.ist.psu.edu/
> 
> The ACS lab is beginning new, NSF-funded research in the areas of linguistics and computational social science.  Generally, the lab seeks to model cognitive processes using large-scale datasets and experimentation.  Our work in cognitive science is fueled by advances in computing.  In turn, we translate progress in cognitive science to contributions in computer science, recently in cybersecurity and machine learning.
> 
> We are looking for a postdoc with training in cognitive science and/or machine learning/natural language processing. Strong practical computational skills and a dedication to theory of cognition or linguistics are preferred. Duties will include contributing to a project that combines crowd-sourcing and natural language processing to curate a dataset for peace research.  Beyond that, the post-doc is primarily expected to build a strong research agenda, but may also collaborate in the graduate students' projects and teach.  The initial appointment would be for one year and is renewable for one more year.
> 
> The PI's group currently consists of four Ph.D. students engaged in research on corpus-based cognitive linguistics, decision-making, and machine learning.  Penn State provides a strong environment for work in the area, with its Center for Language Science, Departments of Psychology and Computer Science, and IST (Penn State's "iSchool"), which is home to the ACS Lab. IST is collaborative and can provide interaction with researchers in psychology, data mining, AI/machine learning, computational social science, security, and more.  Penn State is located in central Pennsylvania, within driving distance to Pittsburgh, New York, Washington, D.C., and Baltimore.
