University or Organization: NYU Abu Dhabi

Description:

Pre- or post-doctoral research position in MEG research in the NYU Abu Dhabi
Neuroscience of Language Lab (PIs Pylkkänen & Marantz)

The NYU Abu Dhabi Neuroscience of Language Lab
(http://www.psych.nyu.edu/nellab/) has an opening for a research scientist,
which could be realized either as a pre-doctoral RAship or as a post-doc. 

A BA/BS, MA/MS or PhD in a cognitive science-related discipline (psychology,
linguistics, etc.) or computer science is required. 

The hired person would ideally have experience with psycho- and
neurolinguistic experiments, a background in statistics and some programming
ability (especially Python and Matlab). A strong computational background and
knowledge of Arabic would both be big pluses.  

The pre/post-doc's role will depend on the specific qualifications of the
person hired, but will in all cases involve MEG research on structural aspects
of language. 

In Abu Dhabi, salary and benefits, including travel and lodging, are quite
generous. We are looking to start this position as soon as possible.
Evaluation of applications will begin immediately.

To apply, please email cover letter, CV and names of references to Liina
Pylkkanen at the contact information email below, and Alec Marantz at the
application email below.



Application Deadline: 31-Dec-2016 (Open until filled)

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the 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 Indiana University 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!
