[Anna Papafragou]

Post-Doctoral Position, Language and Cognition lab, University of
Delaware

One post-doctoral position is available in Psychology at the
University of Delaware. This post is linked to a new NIH-funded
project on Spatial Language and its interface with Spatial Cognition.
The postdoctoral researcher will take a leading role in designing and
conducting experimental work on the acquisition and processing of
spatial language and the relationship of spatial language to non-
linguistic spatial cognition. A PhD in Psychology, Linguistics,
Cognitive Science or a related field is required. Technical expertise
with eye tracking methodologies and/or a background in developmental
or cross-linguistic experimental research are preferred. The
researcher will have access to and be encouraged to use the new Tobii
eye tracker in the Language and Cognition Lab. Lab members have access
to on-campus preschool and infant testing facilities.

The postdoctoral researcher is expected to participate fully in the
intellectual life of the Department. The researcher is also expected
to contribute to the interdisciplinary group of cognitive scientists
at UD that includes faculty, postdocs and students in Psychology,
Linguistics, Education and related disciplines. Affiliated facilities
include two ERP labs, three eye tracking labs, and two infant labs.

The position is available beginning September 2008 (an earlier
starting date is negotiable) and is for an initial period of one year
with potential extension for an additional year. Candidates should
send a CV, samples of written work and three letters of recommendation
to the Director of the Language and Cognition lab: Anna Papafragou,
Wolf Hall, Department of Psychology, University of Delaware, Newark DE
19716 (papafragou at psych.udel.edu). Review of materials will begin on
April 20th and will continue until the position is filled.
