University or Organization: Pennsylvania State University 
Department: Center for Language Science
Job Location: Pennsylvania, USA 
Web Address: http://www.psu.edu/dept/cls/pire/
Job Title: Postdoctoral position, Center for Language Science
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: Cognitive Science; General Linguistics; Neurolinguistics; Phonology; Psycholinguistics 

Description:

The Center for Language Science (CLS) at The Pennsylvania State University
(http://cls.psu.edu/) invites applications for 1-2 postdoctoral positions. The
CLS is home to a cross-disciplinary research program that includes the NSF
training program, Partnerships for International Research and Education
(PIRE): Bilingualism, mind, and brain: An interdisciplinary program in
cognitive psychology, linguistics, and cognitive neuroscience. The program
provides training in research on bilingualism that includes an international
perspective and that exploits opportunities for collaborative research
conducted with one of our international partner sites in the UK (Bangor,
Wales), Germany (Braunschweig), Spain (Granada and Tarragona), The Netherlands
(Nijmegen), Sweden (Lund), and China (Hong Kong and Beijing) and in
conjunction with our two domestic partner sites at Haskins Labs and the VL2
Science of Learning Center at Gallaudet University.  We welcome applications
from candidates with preparation in any of the disciplines that contribute to
our program. The successful candidate will benefit from a highly interactive
group of faculty whose interests include bilingual language processing,
language acquisition in children and adults, language contact, and aging,
among other topics. 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 using a variety of behavioral and/or neuroscience
methods, including 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: Michele Diaz, Ping Li, Janet van Hell, and Dan Weiss;
Spanish: Rena Torres Cacoullos, Matt Carlson, Giuli Dussias, John Lipski,
Marianna Nadeu, and Karen Miller; Communication Sciences and Disorders: Carol
Miller and Chaleece Sandberg; German: Carrie Jackson, Mike Putnam, and Richard
Page; French: Marc Authier and Lisa Reed. Administrative questions can be
directed to the Chair of the search committee, Michele Diaz: mtd143 at psu.edu.
The appointment will be for one year, with a start date as soon as June 1,
2016 and no later than August 1, 2016. Salary follows NSF/NIH guidelines. The
PIRE funding requires that we restrict the search to US citizens only.
Applicants should upload 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.  Additionally, applicants
should arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent separately to
Sharon Elder at sle9 at psu.edu.  Review of applications will begin immediately
and continue until the position(s) are filled.  Candidates must have completed
their Ph.D by the time of appointment. Apply online at the application website
below.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and 
as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation, 
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal 
Tax number is 45-4211155. 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 eLinguistics 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!
