Post-doctoral position in Cognitive Neuroscience of Language
University of Maryland at College Park

The new Cognitive Neuroscience of Language Lab (CNL) at the University
of Maryland at College Park (suburb of Washington DC) is looking for a
post-doc to participate in all aspects of research. The CNL Lab is
supervised by Stephen Crain and David Poeppel. Local facilities
include a high-density EEG/ERP system (Neuroscan ESI-128), a
stationary and a headband eye-tracker (ISCAN ETL 500 head-mounted
system), facilities to analyze EEG, MEG, and fMRI data. In addition,
it is possible to collaborate on a variety of projects using MEG, PET,
and fMRI at other local institutions (including Georgetown, NIH). The
research is focused on two broad areas, sentence processing (Crain)
and speech perception (Poeppel) although we have a broad aesthetic and
are interested in any speech-and language-related work.  For best
consideration, submit a letter of application, including the names of
three references, by August 1, 1999. Anticipated starting date is
September 1, 1999, and Ph.D. should be in hand by starting
date. Competitive salary. For inquiries contact David Poeppel
(dpoeppel at deans.umd.edu; 301-405-1016 or 301-405-7437) or Stephen
Crain (sc180 at umail. umd.edu; 301-405-0197).
