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
(<a href="http://www.ling.rochester.edu/" eudora="autourl">
http://www.ling.rochester.edu/</a>) combines strengths in formal
linguistics--syntax, semantics, pragmatics, phonetics and phonology--with
experimental and empirical methodologies. The department of Brain and
Cognitive Sciences
(<a href="http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/" eudora="autourl">
http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/</a>) 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.<br>
<br>
Students interested in the joint Brain & Cognitive
Sciences/Linguistics PhD program should apply through the Brain &
Cognitive Sciences department
(<a href="http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/programs/graduate/how-to.html" eudora="autourl">
http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/programs/graduate/how-to.html</a>), by
January 1, 2007. For further information, please go to the Center for
Language Sciences web pages
