================================================================  

The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been set 
up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

Description:

The Center for Language Sciences at the University of Rochester seeks two
or more outstanding postdoctoral fellows for a NIH-funded training grant.
The Center brings together faculty and students with interests in spoken
and signed languages from the Departments of Brain and Cognitive Sciences,
Computer Science, Linguistics, and Philosophy, as well as the
interdepartmental program in Neuroscience. We encourage applicants from any
of these disciplines who have expertise in any area of natural language.  

The training faculty has combined expertise in formal, behavioral,
computational and brain-imaging approaches to understanding the structure,
processing and acquisition of natural language. We are particularly
interested in postdoctoral fellows who want to contribute to an
interdisciplinary community.  NIH fellowships are open only to US citizens
or permanent residents.  

Applicants should send a letter describing their graduate training and
research interests and a curriculum vitae, and arrange to have three
letters of reference sent to the address below; mtan at bcs.rochester.edu. Review
of applications will begin on March 15 and continue until the positions are
filled.  Two of the positions must be filled by June 20th.  Appointees must have
successfully defended their dissertation prior to being appointed. We strongly
encourage applications from women and members of under-represented minorities.
