Subject: Postdoc: Rochester Center for Language Sciences

Please note the following post-doc opportunities for US citizens and  
permanent residents at the Center for Language Sciences (University of  
Rochester). We're looking for two outstanding post-doctoral  
researchers who would be interested to join our vibrant  
interdisciplinary research community as part of an NIH training grant  
(usually for 2 years).

--Jeff Runner, Mike Tanenhaus, and Florian Jaeger


The Center for the Language Sciences at the University of Rochester  
seeks one or more outstanding postdoctoral fellows for a NIH-funded  
training grant. The Center brings together faculty and students with  
interests in spoken and signed languages from the Departments of Brain  
and Cognitive Sciences, Computer Science, Linguistics, and Philosophy,  
as well as the interdepartmental program in Neuroscience. We encourage  
applicants from any of these disciplines who have expertise in any  
area of natural language.  The training faculty has combined expertise  
in formal, behavioral, computational and brain-imaging approaches to  
understanding the structure, processing and acquisition of natural  
language, and we encourage applicants who work in any of these areas.  
We are particularly interested in postdoctoral fellows who want to  
contribute to an interdisciplinary community.

This year, in addition to the areas mentioned above, we welcome  
applicants whose research interests include using or learning to use  
experimental techniques (e.g., eye-tracking) to investigate the formal  
syntactic and semantic properties of language structure and how they  
interact with or affect language processing.

NIH fellowships are open only to US citizens or permanent residents.   
Applicants should send a letter describing their graduate training and  
research interests, a curriculum vitae, and arrange to have three  
letters of recommendation sent to: Professor Michael K. Tanenhaus,  
Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Meliora Hall, University  
of Rochester, Rochester, NY 14627-0268.  Electronic applications are  
encouraged.  Please send electronic applications to mtan at bcs.rochester.edu 
. Review of applications will begin on March 1 and continue until the  
positions are filled.  Applicants should have defended their Ph.D.  
thesis by June 15, 2008. The start date is flexible.
