<div>Please find below an advert for a Postdoctoral Research position at the University of Liverpool (the start date is still quite a while off, but we saw no harm in getting the advert out early). Applications from outside the EU are welcome, but we are obliged
to appoint from within the EU if a suitably qualified candidate can be found.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Postdoctoral Research Associate (Computational Modelling: Child Language Acquisition)£31,020 pa</div>
<div>Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, Institute of Psychology, Health and Society, University of Liverpool</div>
<div>Ref: R-577723/WWW</div>
<div>Closing date for receipt of applications: 1 August 2012</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You will join a child language modeling project, led by Dr Franklin Chang. The project will involve the development of a connectionist model of syntax acquisition that will be fit to range of acquisition phenomena (e.g., grammaticality judgments, preferential
looking, elicited production). You will be responsible for programming and analysing a neural network of syntax acquisition. You should have a PhD in psychology, computer science or a closely related field and have experience in programming (C++, Java, statistical
packages such as R) and an interest in connectionist models and syntactic development. The post is available for 2 years, commencing 1 October 2012.</div>
