Description:

Applications are solicited for two post-doctoral positions in Psychology at
New York University Abu Dhabi to conduct behavioral and MEG/EEG research on
written and spoken language comprehension. The postdoctoral researchers will
work directly with Dr. Diogo Almeida in Abu Dhabi as a part of the NYU
Neuroscience of Language team, which includes Drs. Alec Marantz, Liina
Pylkkanen and David Poeppel at NYU - New York.

The main responsibilities will be to implement research projects and to
explore ways to leverage the unique participant populations of varied
linguistic backgrounds in the UAE to study questions about linguistic
knowledge and language processing.

The post-docs will have access to a state-of-the-art 200 channel MEG system
equipped with a 32 electrode EEG recording system. Technical support to the
MEG lab is provided. The lab is also equipped with behavioral testing
facilities and a stand-alone EEG system.

Applicants should have a PhD in cognitive neuroscience, psychology,
linguistics, or a related field, and demonstrated experience conducting
language processing research. International applicants are encouraged, and
experience in cross-linguistic work in Arabic or other Middle Eastern and East
Asian languages is especially welcome. The ideal candidate will have
experience with electrophysiology (MEG or EEG) and should be comfortable with,
or ready to master, MATLAB-, and R-based analysis tools. The candidate must be
highly motivated and creative, capable of working independently, and excited
to build a dynamic, startup-like work environment.

The application should contain a statement of research interests, a CV,
relevant manuscripts or publications, and 3 letters of reference. Please visit
our website at the application URL below for instructions and other
information on how to apply. If you have any questions, please e-mail Dr.
Diogo Almeida at the application email address below.

Review of applicants will begin immediately and will continue until the
position is filled. The appointment will be for one year beginning in spring
2013, with possibility of multi-year renewal based on performance and
productivity.

Salary and benefits: competitive salary and benefits, including relocation,
housing, and education, are offered.
