Job Title: MindCORE Research Fellowship for Postdoctoral Scholars
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: General Linguistics

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
neuroscience, psychology, linguistics, 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. Find a list of
current and former MindCORE Fellows here:
https://mindcore.sas.upenn.edu/people/. MindCORE awards ~2
postdoctoral Fellowships per year. Positions may start as early as
July 1, 2023.


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. This is campus-based (not
remote) position.


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.
Penn has a five-year term limit for postdocs, so candidates ideally
have 0-2 years of previous postdoc time.

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, contact information for two referees, and a cover letter with a
1-2 paragraph diversity statement that includes past experiences and
activities, and future plans to advance diversity, equity, and
inclusion at Penn. Applicants should be mindful of the
interdisciplinary backgrounds of the reviewers and make the proposals
clear to readers.

Application documents should be saved with candidate’s
Lastname_Firstname.pdf in one PDF file in this order: cover letter,
research statement, CV, referees (name, affiliation, email address).
Complete applications should be submitted through the form on our
website:
https://web.sas.upenn.edu/mindcore/post-doctoral-research-fellowship/.
