Subject:  Research Associate in language learnability


Position for research associate to work with us on the computational study of
language learnability within the parameter-setting framework, under the
supervision of Ken Wexler and Ted Gibson in the departments of Brain and
Cognitive Sciences and Linguistics and Philosophy at MIT, Cambridge, MA, USA.
The work will involve computational implementation of theories of language
learning within a linguistic framework.  Programming skills are required.
Knowledge of syntactic theory is desirable.  Send inquiries (optionally
including a statement of your interest in this area of research) to Ken Wexler
(wexler at psyche.mit.edu) and Ted Gibson (gibson at psyche.mit.edu).
