Description:

Prof. Daniel Swingley of the University of Pennsylvania seeks to hire a postdoctoral researcher (up to 2 years) for an NIH-funded project on infants' interpretation of speech in early language acquisition. Topics of study include corpus measurement and modeling, experiments with infants and children, and/or studies of learning in adults as models for children.  Candidates should have a PhD and a background in speech perception, phonetics, psycholinguistics, or another relevant domain.  Researchers interested in speech and learning and having a computational background are especially encouraged to apply.  Previous research experience with infants or children is desirable but not required.

The postdoc would join a vibrant language research community at the interdisciplinary Institute for Research in Cognitive Science at Penn, and would be expected to contribute to the intellectual life of IRCS.

Evaluation of applications will begin immediately.  Interested candidates should contact Daniel Swingley (contact email address below), sending a letter describing their previous research
and their interests and a CV; candidates should also arrange for 3 letters of recommendation to be sent directly.  Review of applications will begin in early April of 2014, with start dates in summer or fall
2014.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
