POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP AT UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE

[Barbara Landau]

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP, UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE
SPATIAL COGNITION AND SPATIAL LANGUAGE

The Department of Psychology and Cognitive Science Program at the
University of Delaware seeks an outstanding postdoctoral fellow for
research on spatial cognition, broadly construed.  The position is funded
by NINDS, and supports a fellowship for collaborative studies on spatial
cognition in children and adult with Williams Syndrome, a rare genetic
deficit which gives rise to a pattern of profound spatial disorder
together with relatively spared language.  Work in the two collaborating
labs includes a broad range of studies on spatial cognition, from spatial
attention to navigation to spatial language and the interfaces among these
systems.  Candidates should have prior background in behavioral and
neurobiological studies of the brain and mind; strength in computational
approaches would also be advantageous.  The fellowship is currently a
one-year position with the possibility of renewal.

Applicants should send a letter describing their graduate training and
research interests and a curriculum vitae, and they should arrange to have
three letters of recommendation sent to either  Professor Barbara Landau
or Professor James Hoffman, Wolf Hall, University of Delaware, Newark,
Delaware 19716.  Review of applications will begin on February 15, 1999,
and continue until the position is filled.  The expected start date is
July 1, 1999.  Applicants can learn more about the research programs
involved by referring to our Web pages (http://hoffman.psych.udel.edu or
http://udel.edu/~zukowski/lab.html).  Applications from women and
underrepresented minority groups are especially welcome.  The University
of Delaware is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
