Sorry for duplicates! Please share with students and colleagues.<br><br>Note: though the deadline is listed as January 1st, late applications are welcome.<br><br>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 Ph.D. in Brain & Cognitive Sciences and Linguistics. <br>
<br>The Department of Linguistics (<a href="http://www.ling.rochester.edu/">http://www.ling.rochester.edu/</a>) combines strengths in formal linguistics--syntax, semantics, pragmatics, phonetics and laboratory phonology--with experimental and empirical methodologies. The Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences (<a href="http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/">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. <br>
<br>We welcome applications from students interested in investigating the syntax, semantics, and pragmatics of language, using experimental and empirical techniques, and students interested in laboratory phonology and experimental phonetics. We also welcome applications from students interested in cross-linguistic and field-based research. In particular we seek applicants interested in working in the interdisciplinary environment provided by the Center for Language Sciences, which encourages using the tools of both linguistics and the other cognitive sciences in investigating linguistic problems. <br>
<br>Students interested in the joint Brain & Cognitive Sciences/Linguistics Ph.D. program should apply through the Brain & Cognitive Sciences department (<a href="http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/programs/graduate/how-to.html">http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/programs/graduate/how-to.html</a>), by January 1, 2008. For further information, please go to the Center for Language Sciences web pages (<a href="http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/cls/">http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/cls/</a>) or contact associated faculty.<br>
