One post-doctoral position is available in the Department of
Psychology at the University of Delaware. This post is linked to an
NIH-funded project on Spatial Language and its interface with Spatial
Cognition awarded to Anna Papafragou (University of Delaware) and John
Trueswell (University of Pennsylvania). 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 scene perception/ spatial
cognition. The researcher will also act as a liaison between the two
collaborating labs at UD and UPenn and will participate in project-
related research meetings at both institutions. A PhD in Psychology,
Linguistics, Cognitive Science or a related field is required.
Technical expertise with eye tracking methodologies and/or a
background in spatial cognition/scene perception are preferred. The
researcher will have access to and be encouraged to use the 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 in the Summer or Fall of 2010 (starting date
is negotiable) and is for an initial period of one year with potential
extension for an additional year. Salary rates follow NIH pay scales;
a generous benefits package is included. The position is open to non-

three letters of recommendation to the Director of the Language and
Cognition lab: Anna Papafragou, Wolf Hall, Department of Psychology,
