Description:

One post-doctoral position is available in the Language and Cognition lab in
the Department of Linguistics at the University of Pennsylvania. This position
is linked to a new NSF-funded project (‘Event Structure in Language and
Cognition’) awarded to Anna Papafragou. This project investigates how we
represent events in thought, how both novice (child) and experienced (adult)
communicators use language to encode events, and how speakers of different
languages think about events in the world. The postdoctoral researcher will
take a leading role in designing and conducting experimental work with young
children and/or adults on the representation of events in language and
cognition. 

A PhD in Linguistics, Psychology, Cognitive Science or a related field is
required. The postdoctoral researcher is expected to participate fully in the
intellectual life of the Department. The researcher is also expected to
contribute to the vibrant interdisciplinary group of cognitive scientists at
Penn that includes faculty, postdocs and students in Linguistics, Psychology,
Neuroscience, Computer Science, Philosophy, Education and related disciplines.
 
The position is available in early Fall 2021 (start date flexible) and is for
an initial period of one year with potential extension for an additional year.
The position is open to non-US citizens. 

Candidates should apply online at the application link provided below.

Please submit a CV, two samples of written work and three letters of
recommendation. The University will contact the recommenders directly with
instructions on how to submit their letters. Review of materials will begin on
June 20th, 2021 and will continue until the position is filled.

The University of Pennsylvania values diversity and seeks talented students,
faculty and staff from diverse backgrounds. The University of Pennsylvania is
