New Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program in Cognitive Science at Tufts 
University

Tufts University is proud to announce the launch of a new multi- and 
interdisciplinary joint PhD program in cognitive science.  Applications 
for the inaugural Fall 2012 class are accepted immediately.

In recent years, Tufts has built up a world-renowned faculty in 
Cognitive Science, some of whom have been prominent since the 
beginnings of the field.  The new joint Ph.D. program has particular 
interdisciplinary strength in the area of human language, including 
theoretical linguistics, psycho- and neurolinguistics, reading and 
dyslexia, and computational linguistics, and it offers considerable 
expertise as well in other traditional subareas of cognitive science 
including animal cognition, human memory, 
behavioral/cognitive/affective neuroscience, cognitive modeling, 
robotics, and human-computer interaction. 

The cognitive science faculty reflects the diversity of methods and 
research paradigms in the field and includes: Daniel Dennett, Ray 
Jackendoff, Maryanne Wolf, Calvin Gidney, Phillip Holcomb, Gina 
Kuperberg, Holly A. Taylor, Robert Cook, Ayanna Thomas, Rich 
Chechile, Ariel M. Goldberg, Heather Urry, Rob Jacob, Matthias 
Scheutz, David Hammer, Barbara Brizuela, and Christoph Borgers.

Interested students are encouraged to visit the Program's web page at 
http://cogsci.tufts.edu which provides detailed information about the 
application process as well as contact information for cognitive science 
faculty.
