Title: Lunar mission analog task developer and experimenter

Description: We are seeking a student to assist in developing tasks and experimental protocols for our research. The project focus is on characterizing the effects of communication delays on team dynamics and performance.  We will be running experiments with multiple individuals performing tasks similar to those that will be executed on the Lunar surface and analyzing the effects of delays in communication during the task.  You will be responsible for task development and pilot testing.  Potential tasks include both computer-based and physical tasks.  Coding skills and experience developing experimental protocols are desired.

Required: Experience developing tasks for human testing, desire to work on teams, willingness to learn

Pay: $15 per hour

Commitment: 10 hours per week

To apply: Please contact Katya Arquilla (katya.arquilla@colorado.edu) and  Jasmin Chadha (jasmin.chadha@colorado.edu) via email. Please provide your resume and a 1 paragraph description of your qualifications and desire to work on this project.


Title: Data Collection and Analysis in a Flight Simulator Experiment
 
Description: We are seeking a motivated student researcher to assist with a study on human trust in autonomous systems. The role involves conducting experiments in which human subjects will be flying a fighter jet cockpit simulator with an autonomous co-pilot, and the student researcher will gather psychophysiological and behavioral data, as well as analyze results to develop predictive trust models. Coding skills (MATLAB, Python, C#, or similar) and the ability to work with technical documentation are required. Ideal candidates will be pursuing a degree in a relevant science or engineering field (biological sciences, aerospace engineering, or similar) and interested in autonomy, dynamic trust modeling, human factors, and data collection and analysis.
Required: Progress towards a degree in STEM and the ability to attend team meetings. It is desirable, but not required, to have previous research experience, particularly with human subject experiments, or Unity programming.
