Rochester PhD support: Brain & Cognitive Sciences, and Linguistics

[Jeff Runner]

Apologies for duplicates. Note that the BCS deadline is listed as 1/1/14.
However, applications received by January 15 will be considered.

The department of Brain & Cognitive Sciences and the department of
Linguistics at the University of Rochester invite applications from
students interested in pursuing a joint PhD in Brain & Cognitive Sciences
and Linguistics. The department of Linguistics (
http://www.ling.rochester.edu/) combines strengths in formal
linguistics--syntax, semantics, pragmatics, phonetics and phonology--with
experimental and empirical methodologies. The department of Brain and
Cognitive Sciences (http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/) combines strengths in
language research--language processing, language acquisition, brain and
language--with vision, and neuroscience, which includes computational
neuroscience, learning and plasticity. The language researchers in these
departments--along with those in Computer Science--constitute Rochester's
Center for Language Sciences. This year we are particularly interested in
applicants who want to investigate the formal syntactic and semantic
properties of language structure using experimental and empirical
techniques. Students interested in the joint Brain & Cognitive
Sciences/Linguistics PhD program should apply through the Brain & Cognitive
Sciences department (http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/graduate/guidelines.html),
as soon as possible, and no later January 15, 2014. *Please mention in your
application your interest in pursuing the joint degree with
Linguistics.*For further information contact Jeff Runner (
