Description:

MindCORE (Mind Center for Outreach, Research, and Education) seeks to recruit
outstanding postdoctoral researchers for our Postdoctoral Fellowship. Housed
within the School of Arts & Sciences of the University of Pennsylvania,
MindCORE is an interdisciplinary effort to understand human intelligence and
behavior. 

Designed for individuals who have recently obtained a PhD degree in
psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy, computer science or other
cognitive science discipline, the MindCORE Fellowship is a springboard for
early researchers as they establish their own research program. Fellows are
expected to pursue collaborative relationships with faculty working across
disciplines at Penn. These collaborations may take different forms from
engaging in research projects with multiple faculty independently, to
generating new collaborative research that brings multiple faculty together,
to contributing to interdisciplinary discussion and reading groups. 

Benefits: 
Fellows receive a competitive salary, relocation allowance, health insurance,
plus a $20,000 research budget. Fellows also benefit from access to the
greater community of academics including visiting scholars plus leading
research facilities equipped with cutting-edge instrumentation all on an urban
campus in a vibrant city. Fellows are invited to join regular working group
meetings within their field plus career development workshops aimed at young
researchers, and will be provided with a mentoring committee. Funding is
provided in one-year terms renewable for up to three years.

Eligibility & Application: 
 - Applicants must have formally completed all requirements of the PhD degree
and provide a copy of their diploma at the time of appointment. Candidates
must submit 1-2 page research statement that identifies at least three
MindCORE faculty at Penn
(https://mindcore.sas.upenn.edu/people/faculty-and-associates/) with whom the
applicant would be interested in collaborating, along with a CV, and contact
information for two referees. (Note: cover letter unnecessary.)

 - Submitted documents should be saved with candidate’s Lastname_Firstname.PDF
in one PDF file in this order: research statement, CV, referees (name,
affiliation, email address). Complete applications should be submitted through
the form on our website (see link below). Questions not answered on our FAQ, 
can be emailed to pennmindcore at sas.upenn.edu

 - Applications due before December 15, 2022.

Selection: 
All eligible and complete applications will be evaluated by the Selection
Committee and are judged on the following criteria:
 - Scientific excellence
 - Potential to contribute to or lead within diverse community 
 - Scientific match and interdisciplinarity
 - Career potential
 
MindCORE awards ~2 post-doctoral Fellowships per year. Positions may start as
early as July 1, 2023.
