Description:

The Center for Language Science (CLS) at The Pennsylvania State University
(http://cls.psu.edu/) invites applications for a postdoctoral position. The
CLS hosts 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 with opportunities for collaborative research at partner sites in
the UK, Germany, Spain, The Netherlands, Sweden, and China, and in conjunction
with our two domestic partner sites at Haskins Labs and Gallaudet University. 

We welcome applications from any of the disciplines that contribute to our
program. The successful candidate will benefit from an interactive group of
faculty whose interests include bilingual language processing, language
acquisition in children and adults, and language contact, among other topics.
Applicants with an interest in extending their expertise within experimental
psycholinguistics and cognitive neuroscience are particularly welcome to
apply. We expect candidates to make a commitment to gain expertise in research
on bilingualism and in using neuroscience methods. There is a possibility of
teaching one course during the academic year in the Program in Linguistics.

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://pire.la.psu.edu.  Questions about faculty research interests may be
directed to relevant core training faculty. Administrative questions can be
directed to Judith Kroll (email below).

The initial appointment will be for one year, with a possibility of renewal
depending on availability of funds. Salary follows NSF/NIH guidelines. The
PIRE funding restricts the search to US citizens only. Applicants should
upload a CV, 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, 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.

Additionally, applicants should arrange for three letters of recommendation to
be sent separately to Sharon Elder at the application email below.  Review of
applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
 The appointment can begin as early as August 1, 2015 but no later than
October 1, 2015. Candidates must have completed their Ph.D by the time of
appointment.  Apply online (link below).
