Postdoctoral position Center for Language Science, Penn State

[Carol Miller]

Postdoctoral position, Center for Language Science, The Pennsylvania State 
University

The Center for Language Science (CLS) at The Pennsylvania State University (
http://cls.psu.edu/) invites applications for an anticipated postdoctoral 
position. The CLS is home to a cross-disciplinary research program that 
includes the NSF training program, Partnerships for International Research 
and Education (PIRE): Bilingualism, mind, and brain: An interdisciplinary 
program in cognitive psychology, linguistics, and cognitive neuroscience. 
The program provides training in research on bilingualism that includes an 
international perspective and that exploits opportunities for collaborative 
research conducted with one of our international partner sites in the UK 
(Bangor, Wales), Germany (Mannheim), Spain (Granada and Tarragona), The 
Netherlands (Nijmegen), Sweden (Lund), and China (Hong Kong and Beijing) 
and in conjunction with our two domestic partner sites at Haskins Labs and 
the VL2 Science of Learning Center at Gallaudet University. The successful 
postdoctoral candidate will have an opportunity to engage in collaborative 
research within the Center's international network.

We welcome applications from candidates with preparation in any of the 
disciplines that contribute to our program. The successful candidate will 
benefit from a highly interactive group of faculty whose interests include 
bilingual language processing, language acquisition in children and adults, 
and language contact, among other topics. Applicants with interests in 
these topics and with an interest in extending their expertise within 
experimental psycholinguistics and cognitive neuroscience are particularly 
welcome to apply. There is no expectation that applicants will have had 
prior experience in research on bilingualism but we expect candidates to 
make a commitment to gain expertise in research on bilingualism and also in 
using neuroscience methods, including both fMRI and ERPs. There is also a 
possibility of teaching one course during the academic year in the Program 
in Linguistics.

Questions about faculty research interests may be directed to relevant core 
training faculty: *Psychology*: Judith Kroll, Ping Li, Eleonora Rossi, 
Janet van Hell, and Dan Weiss; *Spanish*: Rena Torres Cacoullos, Matt 
Carlson, Giuli Dussias, John Lipski, Marianna Nadeu, and Karen Miller; *Communication 
Sciences and Disorders*: Carol Miller; *German*: Carrie Jackson, Mike 
Putnam, and Richard Page. Administrative questions can be directed to the 
Acting Director of the Center for Language Science, Giuli Dussias: 
pdussias at psu.edu. More information about the Center for Language Science 
(CLS), about the PIRE program, and faculty research programs can be found 
at http://cls.psu.edu or http://cls.psu.edu/PIRE.

The initial appointment will be for one year, with a possibility of renewal 
for a second year depending on the availability of funds. Salary follows 
NSF/NIH guidelines. The search is open to all eligible candidates 
regardless of citizenship. Applicants should send a CV, several reprints or 
preprints, and a statement of research interests. This statement should 
indicate two or more core faculty members as likely primary and secondary 
mentors and should describe the candidate's goals for research and training 
during a postdoctoral position, including previous experience and 
directions in which the candidate would like to develop his/her expertise 
in the language science of bilingualism. Candidates interested in gaining 
teaching experience should include information on teaching experience and 
preparation.

Application materials should be sent electronically to: www.la.psu.edu/facul
tysearch/. Additionally, applicants should arrange for three letters of 
recommendation to be sent separately to Sharon Elder at sle9 at psu.edu. We 
will begin to review applications by March 15, 2014, and will consider 
applications until the position is filled. The appointment can begin as 
early as August 1, 2014 but no later than October 1, 2014. Candidates must 
have completed their Ph.D by the time of appointment. We encourage 
applications from women and members of under-represented groups. Employment 
will require successful completion of background check(s) in accordance with 
University policies.  Penn State is committed to affirmative action, equal 
opportunity, and the diversity of its workforce.
