================================================================

The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobnet.html. This page has been set
up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

Description:

Post-doctoral position in Neurolinguistics/Psycholinguistics/Language Acquisition

The Cognitive Neuroscience of Language (CNL) Lab at the University of
Maryland at College park (suburb of Washington DC) is looking for a
postdoctoral researcher to participate in all aspects of research. The CNL
Lab comprises around 40 faculty, staff, and students engaged in research
that spans language acquisition, language processing, and neurolinguistics,
including the study of acquired and genetic disorders. The lab has on-site
facilities for whole-head MEG recordings, high-density EEG, head-mounted
and stationary eye-trackers, and a variety of behavioral paradigms. Lab
members have access to an on-campus laboratory preschool, and infant
testing facilities are currently being added. Lab members have also
conducted fMRI and PET studies through local collaborations. CNL Lab
faculty include Colin Phillips, David Poeppel, Andrea Zukowski, Amy
Weinberg, Jeff Lidz (starting Fall 2005), and Bill Idsardi (starting Fall
2005). The post-doc position is not linked to a specific project, and the
ideal candidate will be able to contribute to more than one of the lab's
research foci, or to the Department of Linguistics' other strengths in
theoretical and computational linguistics. Initial appointment is for 1
year, with the possibility of renewal for a second year. Anticipated
starting date is September 1, 2005, and PhD should be in hand by starting
date. Salary is competitive.  For best consideration, submit a letter of
application and current CV, and arrange for 3 references to be submitted
electronically.

Inquiries may be directed to any CNL Lab faculty member. Please note that
all application materials, including letters of recommendation, should be
submitted electronically if at all possible. Application materials should
be sent to Colin Phillips, colin at umd.edu; the last-resort mailing address
