Postdoctoral Position in Language Processes

The Department of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
anticipates a postdoctoral position in their Language Training Program:
  Integrating Acquisition and Adult Performance, pending final NICHD
funding decisions.  The goal of the training program is to integrate
the study of child language acquisition and adult language
comprehension and production, in all cases encompassing both typical
and atypical performance. We seek a postdoctoral researcher who has
received extensive doctoral training in one of these areas of language
research and who wants to extend research training into another area.
We have a cohesive group of eight language faculty whose interests span
language processes from speech perception to discourse, and from
infancy through adult performance to cognitive aging.  More information
about language research and training faculty can be found at
http://psych.wisc.edu/gradstudies/language.html. While the postdoctoral
researcher will naturally have closer affiliations with some labs than
with others, the successful candidate will be expected to participate
in more than one lab group, to extend his or her and research to new
areas, and to generally contribute to the integrative mission of the
program.  Questions about faculty research may be directed to the
relevant program faculty.  Administrative questions can be directed to
Maryellen MacDonald, mcmacdonald at wisc.edu.

The position is for one year, with renewal for a second year contingent
on satisfactory progress.  Salary and benefits are set by NIH
guidelines.  Provisions of the training program limit funding to US
citizens and permanent residents.

Applicants should send a CV, several reprints or preprints, and a
statement of research interests.  This statement should name two or
more UW language faculty members as likely postdoctoral advisors and
should include information concerning the direction in which the
candidate would like to extend research and training, consistent with
the goals of the training program.  Applicants should also provide
names of three recommenders and arrange for letters of recommendation
to be sent separately.  Application materials should be sent to
Language Postdoctoral Position, c/o Ms. Leslie May, Department of
Psychology, 1202 West Johnson St., University of Wisconsin-Madison,
Madison, WI 53706-1696.  For fullest consideration, all materials
should be received by March 31, 2005.  UW-Madison is an Affirmative
Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.  Women and minorities are encouraged
to apply.
