[Apologies for multiple postings]</div><div><br></div><div>Dear colleagues:</div><div><br></div><div>The Center for the 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 or related disciplines who have expertise in any area of natural language. The training faculty has combined expertise in formal, behavioral, computational and imaging (fMRI, ultrasound) approaches to understanding the structure, processing, production and acquisition of natural language, and we encourage applicants who work in any of these areas. We are particularly interested in postdoctoral fellows who want to contribute to an interdisciplinary community. </div>
<div><br></div><div>NIH fellowships are open only to US citizens or permanent residents. Applicants should send email applications including a letter describing their graduate training and research interests, a curriculum vitae, and should arrange to have three letters of recommendation sent to:</div>

Applicants should indicate whether they will have defended their Ph.D. thesis by June 15, 2010. The start date is flexible.</div>
