Language Sciences Postdocs at Rochester

[Jeff Runner]

THE UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER

University of Rochester seeks five or more outstanding postdoctoral
fellows with research interests in the Cognitive Sciences, including the
areas of language, learning, and development.  Two NIH training grants
provide support.

(1) LANGUAGE: 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, Philosophy, and
the interdepartmental Neuroscience cluster.  We seek 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) LEARNING AND PLASTICITY: A second NIH training grant spans the
disciplines of Learning and Developmental Plasticity.  Applicants should
have interests in human or animal research on learning and developmental
plasticity, in computational modeling of learning, or in cognitive
neuroscience including fMRI.  Contributing faculty are in the
Departments of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Computer Science, and the
interdepartmental Neuroscience cluster, and study learning ranging from
language and bird song acquisition to perceptual learning in vision and
motor learning.   We seek applicants from any discipline with interests
in the study of learning and plasticity within an interdisciplinary
community.

 All fellowships are open only to US citizens or permanent residents.
Applicants should send a letter describing their graduate training and
research interests, a vita, 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, 2003 and continue until
the positions are filled, with expected start dates ranging from June 30
