The Ph.D. must be in hand prior to the start of the appointment.

We seek individuals who demonstrate the drive and vision to develop an innovative, cutting-edge, and internationally recognized research program in neurolinguistics or psycholinguistics with a focus on language disorders and/or first language acquisition.

This 11,600 square foot research facility will house a Siemens 3T Magnetom Prisma scanner, and the suite will be equipped with state-of-the-art MR-compatible visual and auditory stimulation equipment, eye-tracking, response devices, and physiological measurement hardware.

They will also be expected to offer graduate courses in areas of their specialization. The teaching load is 2+2.
