The applicant will work alongside Professor Mark Williams and Dr. Brady DeCouto in study planning, simulator development, data collection/analysis, and constructing reports for sponsors. This program of research will fund the applicant for an initial 2-year period, with the option for a further extension.

The applicant would join IHMC's growing interdisciplinary team in the Health, Resilience, and Performance (HRP) research program, which conducts research on topics ranging from stress responses/adaptations in military personnel to cognitive factors associated with human-machine teaming.
