Postdoctoral Position in Gesture Research at University of Alberta



A postdoctoral position in gesture research is available in the  
Department of Psychology at the University of Alberta, working with  
Dr. Elena Nicoladis and Dr. Paula Marentette. This project is focused  
on understanding the role of timing in co-speech gesture. We encourage  
candidates interested in doing research on gesture in bilingual  
speakers, either children or adults. Familiarity with ELAN coding is  
highly desirable, but not required. Applications from candidates with  
research training in psycholinguistics, bilingualism, cognitive  
science, or developmental psychology will be particularly well suited  
for this position. Postdoctoral responsibilities will include  
contributing to our ongoing research program as well as taking the  
lead on research projects within that program. In addition, the person  
in this position will have the opportunity to work with the research  
programs of graduate and undergraduate students associated with the lab.



The position, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research  
Council of Canada, is available for one year, with the possibility of  
renewal for a second year. Interested applicants should send a letter  
describing their research interests and a curriculum vitae, and  
arrange to have three letters of recommendation sent to: Elena  
Nicoladis (elena.nicoladis at ualberta.ca). The position begins as early  
as January 1, 2010. Review of applications will begin immediately and  
continue until the position is filled.

"Since all the sciences, and especially psychology, are still immersed  
in such tremendous realms of the uncertain and the unknown, the best  
that any individual scientist, especially any psychologist, can do  
seems to be to follow his own gleam and his own bent, however  
inadequate they may be. In the end, the only sure criterion is to have  
fun."
E. C. Tolman, 1959
