Postdoctoral Research Position
Infant Learning Lab

Our lab is focused on learning in infancy and early childhood, with a
particular focus on language acquisition and links to other areas of
cognition and perception. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in psychology,
cognitive science, communicative disorders, or linguistics at the time
of appointment. A strong research record and previous experience
working with infants and/or young children are highly desirable. The
postdoc will be expected to participate in an active lab group with
interests spanning language acquisition, statistical learning,
perceptual learning, infant cognition, speech perception, music
cognition, and links between computational and behavioral research. Of
particular interest are individuals with interests in or experience
with eye-tracking and other real-time measures of processing and
learning.

The lab is based at the Waisman Center at UW-Madison, a large
interdisciplinary research center focused on development and
developmental disabilities; visit http://www.waisman.wisc.edu for more

working with both typically and atypically developing groups of
children.

The start date is negotiable and can be as early as January 2010, or
as late as July 2010. Funding is available for a minimum of one year,
with additional years available contingent on concurrent applications
for external funding; salary will follow NIH guidelines. Interested
applicants should send a CV, research statement, and 2-3 letters of
recommendation via email to Jenny Saffran at jsaffran at wisc.edu.
Applications received by December 15, 2009 will be given full

position is filled.
