Description:

The Department of Cognitive Science at Johns Hopkins University invites
applications for a one-year (renewable for a second year) postdoctoral
fellowship for an NSF-funded research grant on the early acquisition of
morpho-syntax. The position is affiliated with the JHU Language Acquisition
Lab (see department) but the post-doc fellow will be based in Paris and will
be primarily involved in carrying out experimental research on French (see
department URL).

Required:
- Ph.D. in a relevant field (e.g. linguistics, psychology, cognitive science,
speech & hearing), completed prior to appointment date (Sept. 1, 2013).
- Native-like competence in both English and French (these skills will be
assessed at interview); familiarity with Spanish and/or Haitian Creole a plus.
-  Solid background in syntax, phonology, and comparative linguistics.
-Training in relevant experimental methodologies (incl. preferential looking,
TOBII eye-tracking, and head-turn preference) as well as statistics.
 
The successful candidate is expected to: 
- participate in planning, designing, and conducting research under the
direction of the co-PIs (JHU/Brooklyn College/LPP Paris);
- Analyze research data and provide interpretations; 
- Contribute to the development of research documentation for publication and
the writing of research articles. Opportunities to engage in teaching
activities may be available in Paris.

Please submit the following documents electronically via application email:
- A one-page cover letter summarizing your qualifications for the position.
- A CV highlighting your education, training, employment, and any publications
and/or presentations relevant to the acquisition of morpho-syntax.
- Writing samples in English and French (the latter can be a statement of
research written in French, one page maximum).
- Two letters of recommendations from researchers familiar with the
candidate’s research.

We will begin reviewing complete applications immediately. This position
carries an annual salary of $38,000 and a conference travel allowance.

The Johns Hopkins University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action
employer committed to
recruiting, supporting, and fostering a diverse community of outstanding
faculty, staff, and students. All applicants who share this goal are
encouraged to apply.
