The Research Associate will coordinate the Andes project as well as develop one module of the Andes tutoring system. The goal of the Andes project is to develop and test a tutoring system that teaches college physics. The system will be used both as a testbed for evaluating various instructional methods and as a means of improving instruction in a 1200-student university physics class. The Research Associate will be part of an 11-person team composed of physicists, computer scientists and cognitive scientists. The Research Associate will have two main responsibilities. One is to develop a help system that coaches the student on procedural and strategic issues involved in physics problem solving. This help system is one of 6 main modules in the Andes tutoring system. The second responsibility of the Research Associate will be to coordinate the software development and testing of the whole Andes team. In the later stages of the project, the Andes team will conduct formal field experiments with students using various versions of Andes. The Research Associate will be responsible for coordinating the fieldwork as well, and meshing it with the software development. The Research Associate should have a PhD in Artificial Intelligence, preferably with a specialization in intelligent tutoring systems or user modeling. Knowledge of Lisp and experience in team-based software development are necessary. The position is funded for 3 years, starting January 1, 1996. The compensation includes a competitive salary and full benefits.
