Institution/ Organization: University of Rochester
Department: Depts of BCS and Linguistics
Level: PhD
Specialty Areas: Semantics; Syntax

Description:

The department of Linguistics and the department of Brain & Cognitive Sciences at the University of Rochester invite applications from students interested in pursuing a joint PhD in Brain & Cognitive Sciences and Linguistics.

The department of Linguistics (http://www.ling. rochester. edu/) combines strengths in formal linguistics- -syntax, semantics, pragmatics, phonetics and phonology--with
experimental and empirical methodologies. The department of Brain and Cognitive
Sciences (http://www.bcs. rochester. edu/) combines strengths in language research--language processing, language acquisition, brain and language--with vision, and neuroscience, which includes computational neuroscience, learning and plasticity.

The language researchers in these departments- -along with those in Computer Science and Philosophy-- constitute Rochester's Center for Language Sciences. This year we are particularly interested in applicants who want to investigate the formal syntactic and semantic properties of language structure using experimental and empirical techniques.

Students interested in the joint Brain & Cognitive Sciences/Linguistic s PhD program should apply through the Brain & Cognitive Sciences department (http://www.bcs. rochester. edu/programs/ graduate/ how-to.html), by January 1, 2007.

For further information, please go to the Center for Language Sciences web pages (http://www.bcs. rochester. edu/cls/) or contact Jeff Runner (runner@ling. rochester. edu).
