Postdoctoral Position in Language (NIH Training Grant), UW-Madison

[Jenny Saffran]

The Department of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is
soliciting applications for postdoctoral positions in their NIH
training program, Training in Language:  Acquisition and Adult
Performance.  The Program emphasizes integration of child language
acquisition and adult language comprehension and production processes,
in all cases encompassing both typical and atypical performance. The
successful candidate will benefit from a cohesive group of faculty
whose interests span language processes from speech perception to
discourse, and from infancy through adult performance to cognitive
aging. Applicants should have demonstrated success in one or more of
these areas and should be interested in extending their expertise to
any related areas of language processing during some portion of their
postdoctoral training.

More information about language research at UW, including links to
faculty web pages, can be found at
http://glial.psych.wisc.edu/index.php/gradpsychresearch/psychgradresearchfoci/200
Questions about faculty research interests may be directed to relevant
program faculty:  Martha Alibali, Jan Edwards (Department of
Communicative Disorders), Susan Ellis Weismer (Department of
Communicative Disorders), Morton Ann Gernsbacher, Keith Kluender,
Maryellen MacDonald, Tim Rogers, Jenny Saffran, and Mark Seidenberg.
Administrative questions can be directed to the Program Director,
Maryellen MacDonald, mcmacdonald at wisc.edu.

Positions are subject to final NIH budget approval and will be for one
year, with renewal for a second year contingent on satisfactory
performance.  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 indicate two
or more Language Training Program faculty members as likely primary
and secondary mentors and should describe the candidate's goals for
research and training during a postdoctoral position, including
directions in which the candidate would like to expand his/her
expertise into additional areas of language research, consistent with
the mission of the training program.  While every postdoc's research
is not expected to span both child and adult processing, an
applicant's desire to incorporate a new area of research is considered
in the evaluation process.   Applicants should also provide names of
three recommenders and arrange for letters of recommendation to be
sent separately.  Application materials should be sent electronically
to Ms. Dana Krauss at languagepostdocs at mailplus.wisc.edu.   For
fullest consideration, all materials should be received by March 30,
2010, however we will consider applications until the positions are
filled.  The appointment date is flexible but must be before April 30,
2011.  UW-Madison is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity
Employer.  Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.
