University or Organization: Neuroscience of Language Lab 
Department: NYU Linguistics and Psychology
Job Location: Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates 
Web Address: http://www.psych.nyu.edu/nellab/
Job Title: Pre- or post-doctoral researcher
Job Rank: Post Doc; Researcher

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics; Neurolinguistics; Semantics; Syntax 

Required Language(s): Arabic, Standard (arb)

Description:

The Neuroscience of Language Lab at NYU Abu Dhabi has openings for research
scientists, which could be realized either as pre-doctoral RAships or as a
post-doc. All positions are based in Abu Dhabi but involve regular travel to
New York. A BA/BS, MA/MS or PhD in a cognitive science-related discipline
(psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, etc.) or computer science is required.

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

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 and/or
semantic aspects of language. 

In Abu Dhabi, salary and benefits, including travel and lodging, are quite
generous. We are looking to start these position in summer 2018. Evaluation of
applications will begin immediately.

To apply, please email cover letter, CV and names of references to Liina
Pylkkänen at liina.pylkkanen at nyu.edu and Alec Marantz at marantz at nyu.edu.



Application Deadline:  (Open until filled)
