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

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/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been set 
up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

Description:

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 at the address
given below. 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 PhD thesis by June 15, 2008. The start date is flexible.
