researchers. Starting date for all positions is summer or fall 2009. Salary
is competitive, with benefits included. The positions would be ideal for
individuals with a BA degree who are interested in gaining significant
research experience in a very active lab as preparation for a research
career. Applicants must be US or Canadian citizens or permanent residents,
and should have completed a BA or BS degree by the time of appointment.
Previous experience in linguistics is required, and relevant research
experience is preferred.

Applicants may request to be considered for all positions. Review of

until the positions are filled. For best consideration, completed
applications should be received by April 21st.

Position #1: Research Assistant in Psycholinguistics/Cognitive Neuroscience

This person will take a leading role in research projects in
psycholinguistics and cognitive neuroscience of language. The person will be
involved in all aspects of the design, testing and analysis of studies of
language comprehension in adults, using behavioral and neuroscientific
techniques, including ERP and MEG brain recordings (training provided). The
person will also play a key role in the management of an active lab group
and will contribute to Maryland's new IGERT training program in "Biological
and Computational Foundations of Language Diversity". Previous experience in
linguistics and/or psycholinguistics is preferred. The ability to interact
comfortably with a wide variety of people (and machines) is a distinct
advantage. The position is for a one year initial appointment, with the
possibility of extension beyond that time. For more information contact Dr
Colin Phillips, colin at umd.edu, (301) 405-3082. http://www.ling.umd.edu/colin

research experience in an active interdisciplinary environment before
pursuing graduate study in some area of linguistics or cognitive science.
One or two fellowship positions are available for the 2009-2010 year. Salary
is competitive, with benefits included.

Applicants for all positions should submit a cover letter (outlining
relevant background and interests, including potential faculty mentors), a
current CV, and the names and contact information for 3 potential referees
(letters are not needed as part of the initial application), and a writing
sample. Fuller details at http://www.ling.umd.edu/baggett. All application
