Thanks,
Russ Poldrack
Knowledge Base System Developer
You will work closely with a group of scientists to develop the
Cognitive Atlas system (http://www.cognitiveatlas.org). This site
will serve as a hub for community development of a knowledge base for
cognitive science, and set a new standard as a model for medium-scale
collaborative knowledge base development.
Major duties include:
- development of a highly usable front end for a semantic wiki system
to allow researchers to annotate expert knowledge
- implementation of usability tests and supervision of usability
testing performed by research assistants
- development of social collaborative methods for user interaction
- development of visualization tools for the knowledge base
- working with system administrator to optimize system performance
The right candidate will be interested in working on a challenging and
potentially transformative project at the interface of informatics,
collaborative knowledge building, and cognitive science. We are
looking for someone who can exercise independence in determining
appropriate technologies and methods to solve problems. They should
be highly knowledgeable about web design, wikis, the semantic web, Web
2.0 technologies, usability testing, and knowledge base development.
Some familiarity with cognitive science is also preferred.
Geographic location and time commitment are flexible; candidates
outside of Los Angeles must be willing to travel to UCLA for regular
meetings.
