Integrating Acquisition and Adult Performance. The Program emphasizes
the continuum of the language acquisition process to the adult state,
including both language comprehension and production and both typical
and atypical performance. The successful candidate will benefit from
our cohesive group of faculty whose interests span language processes
from speech perception to discourse, and from infancy through adult
performance to cognitive aging. Applicants should have developed
research interests in one or more areas of language acquisition, adult
comprehension, or adult production, and they should be open to
pursuing relationships between the child and the adult state. More
information about language research and training faculty can be found

satisfactory performance.  Salary and benefits are set by NIH

and training during a postdoctoral position, including  directions in
which the candidate would like continue ongoing research or to expand
his/her  expertise into additional areas of language research,
consistent  with the mission of the training program.  Applicants
