Postdoctoral opportunities

[Marie E. V. Coppola]

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS, UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER.

The Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences seeks two outstanding
postdoctoral fellows with research interests in learning and/or
developmental cognitive science.  One fellowship is affiliated with a
NIH training grant in Learning, Development, and Behavior, and the
other fellowship is affiliated with an NSF grant on Learning and
Intelligent Systems.  Supervising faculty for both fellowships work on
problems of learning and development using behavioral, computational,
and neurobiological approaches.  Candidates should have prior
background in at least one of these approaches and an interest in
working collaboratively in a highly interdisciplinary setting.
Several faculty have special interest in statistical learning in the
domains of language and perception, although a commitment to this
interest is associated only with the NSF fellowship.  The NIH
fellowship is open only to US citizens or permanent residents.

Applicants should send a letter describing their graduate training and
research interests, a curriculum vitae, and arrange to have three
letters of recommendation sent to: Professor Richard N. Aslin,
Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Meliora Hall, University
of Rochester, Rochester, NY 14627-0268.  Review of applications will
begin on February 15, 1999 and continue until one or both positions
are filled, with an expected start date of June/August, 1999.
Applicants can learn about the department, its faculty, and the
