Apologies to those who may receive multiple copies of this announcement.

THE UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER

The University of Rochester seeks five or more outstanding
postdoctoral fellows with research interests in several areas of the
Cognitive Sciences, including language, learning, and development.
Two NIH training grants provide support.  (1) An NIH training grant
is affiliated with the Center for Language Sciences.  The Center
brings together faculty and students with interests in spoken and
signed languages from the Departments of Brain and Cognitive
Sciences, Computer Science, Linguistics, and Philosophy, as well as
the interdepartmental program in Neuroscience.  We encourage
applicants from any of these disciplines who have expertise in any
area of natural language.  We are particularly interested in
postdoctoral fellows who want to contribute to an interdisciplinary
community.  (2) A second NIH training grant spans the disciplines of
Learning and Developmental Plasticity.  Applicants should have
expertise in human or animal research on learning and developmental
plasticity or in computational modeling.  Contributing faculty are
in the Departments of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Computer
Science, and the interdepartmental program in Neuroscience.

All fellowships are open only to US citizens or permanent residents.
Applicants should send a letter describing their graduate training
and research interests, a curriculum vitae, and arrange to have
three letters of recommendation sent to:

Professor Richard N. Aslin
Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences
Meliora Hall
University of Rochester
Rochester, NY 14627-0268.

Review of applications will begin on January 15, 2002 and continue
until all of the positions are filled, with expected start dates
ranging from June 30 to September 1, 2002.
