ADDENDUM: This post has been filled, 4/2005.
Columbia University’s Center for the Decision Sciences anticipates hiring a computer-savvy postdoctoral Associate Director for a period of one to two years, with a starting date of August 2005.

This position is open to candidates with excellent computer skills and training in cognitive psychology or related disciplines who have recently earned their Ph.D., or who are expecting their degree in 2005 on a topic relevant to the psychology of decision making.
The candidate should be comfortable running a Linux Web server as well as coding HTML and dynamic scripting languages such as PHP and JavaScript. Experience with SQL, databases, SAS and lightweight UNIX systems administration and security is very much recommended but not essential.
