Job Rank: Post Doc
Specialty Areas: Interdisciplinary
Description:
The Center for Language Sciences at the University of Rochester seeks one or more outstanding postdoctoral fellows for a NIH-funded training grant. The Center brings together faculty and students with interests in spoken and signed languages from the Departments of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Computer Science, Linguistics, and Philosophy, as well as the interdepartmental program in Neuroscience. We encourage applicants from any of these disciplines who have expertise in any area of natural language.
The training faculty has combined expertise in formal, behavioral, computational and brain-imaging approaches to understanding the structure, processing and acquisition of natural language. We are particularly interested in postdoctoral fellows who want to contribute to an interdisciplinary community. NIH fellowships are open only to US citizens or permanent residents.
Applicants should send a letter via email describing their graduate training and research interests and a curriculum vitae to runner@ling. rochester. edu, and arrange to have three letters of reference sent to the address below. Review of applications will begin on February 15 and continue until the positions are filled. Appointees must have successfully defended their dissertation prior to being appointed. We strongly encourage applications from women and members of under-represented minorities.
This year, in addition to the areas mentioned above, we welcome applicants whose research interests include using experimental techniques such as eye-tracking to investigate the formal syntactic and semantic properties of language structure and how they interact with or affect language processing.
Though we will not be conducting interviews at the 2007 LSA meeting, Jeff Runner will be present and can answer any questions potential applicants may have.
