The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Collaborative Technologies Branch (RHWT), Team Enhancement, Assessment, and Measurement (TEAM) Laboratory is seeking a skilled and motivated research fellow to support team-based research projects.
What will I be doing?
Air Force strategic planning calls for the creation of autonomous machine agents able to cooperate and coordinate with human operators in mixed team settings. However, current agents are limited in their abilities to cooperatively engage with human teammates – a limitation that will likely persist into the foreseeable future – and it is unclear how these limitations will impact critical team processes that underlie team performance, such as communication and coordination. As a result, research is necessary to investigate how teams develop and adapt to the presence of machine teammates with limited cooperative capabilities. Our research will lead to increased understanding of the evolution of team structures and processes, which in turn will facilitate more effective mixed human-machine teams.
Why should I apply?
