Description:

The Center for Language Science (CLS) at The Pennsylvania State University (http://cls.psu.edu/) invites applications for an anticipated postdoctoral position. The CLS is home to a cross-disciplinary research program that includes the NSF-PIRE training program: Bilingualism, mind, and brain: An interdisciplinary program in cognitive psychology, linguistics, and cognitive neuroscience (http://cls.psu.edu/PIRE). The program provides training in research on bilingualism and includes opportunities for collaborative research conducted with one of our international partner sites. The successful postdoctoral candidate will have an opportunity to engage in collaborative research within the Center's international network.

We welcome applications from candidates with preparation in any of the disciplines that contribute to our program. The CLS faculty interests include bilingual language processing, language acquisition in children and adults, and language contact. Applicants with interests in these topics and with an interest in extending their expertise within experimental psycholinguistics and cognitive neuroscience are particularly welcome to apply. There is no expectation that applicants will have had prior experience in research on bilingualism but we expect candidates to make a commitment to gain expertise in research on bilingualism and also in using neuroscience methods, including both fMRI and ERPs. There is also a possibility of teaching one course during the academic year in the Program in Linguistics.

Questions about faculty research interests may be directed to relevant core training faculty: Psychology: Kroll, Li, Rossi, van Hell, and Weiss; Spanish: Carlson, Dussias, Lipski, K. Miller, Nadeu, and Torres Cacoullos; Communication Sciences and Disorders: C. Miller; German: Jackson, Putnam, and Page. Administrative questions can be directed to the CLS Acting Director: pdussias at psu.edu. More information about faculty research programs can be found at http://cls.psu.edu.

The initial appointment will be for one year, with a possibility of renewal for a second year depending on the availability of funds. Salary follows NSF/NIH guidelines. The search is open to all eligible candidates regardless of citizenship. Applicants should send a CV, several reprints or preprints, and a statement of research interests. This statement should indicate two or more core faculty members as likely primary and secondary mentors and should describe the candidate's goals for research and training during a postdoctoral position, including previous experience and directions in which the candidate would like to develop his/her expertise in the language science of bilingualism. Candidates interested in gaining teaching experience should include information on teaching experience and preparation. 

Application materials should be sent electronically to the application website below. Applicants should arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent separately to Sharon Elder at the application email below. We will begin to review applications by March 15, 2014, and will consider applications until the position is filled. The appointment can begin as early as August 1, 2014 but no later than October 1, 2014. Candidates must have completed their Ph.D by the time of appointment. We encourage applications from women and members of under-represented groups. Employment will require successful completion of background check(s) in accordance with University policies.  Penn State is committed to affirmative action, equal opportunity, and the diversity of its workforce.
