Job title: PROGRAMMER ANALYST
(Entry Level Position)
LOCATION: Qualitative Reasoning Group, The Institute for the
Learning Sciences Northwestern University
The Institute for the Learning Sciences is a leading Artificial
Intelligence research institute developing innovative computer
implementations of new ideas in areas of training and education.
STATUS: Full-Time, 40 hours per week
DESCRIPTION: I am looking for two programmers to work with my
group on two new projects which have recently been funded. Both
projects involve using qualitative reasoning and analogical
reasoning techniques to develop new kinds of educational
software. This software will be used and evaluated with students
both at universities and in K-12 education. Both projects
require:
* Dedication to creating robust, efficient,
and friendly software.
* A solid Computer Science background
* Substantial Lisp experience (preferably Common Lisp)
The following kinds of experience would also be beneficial:
* C++ and/or Delphi
* Artificial Intelligence
* Interface design
* Windows programming
The first project involves developing ``articulate virtual
laboratories'' for teaching thermodynamics and feedback. The
target student populations are engineering undergraduates and
high school students.
The second project involves developing software that helps
students learn to model. The target student population for this
project are K-12 students, with the domains likely to be motion
and simple fluid/thermal phenomena.
Applicants must be U.S. Citizens or already have permanent
resident status. Both positions are available immediately.
Northwestern University is an equal opportunity, affirmative
action employer. Employment eligibility verification required
upon hire.
