Job Location: Pennsylvania, USA

Job Title: Post-Doctoral Fellow

Description:

Villanova University’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences invites
applications for a Mendel Science Experience Post-doctoral Fellowship within
the Department of Psychology in the area of speech perception and language
processing. The position has a starting date of August 2016. Applicants should
submit their application package online at the website below. Review of
applications will begin on March 14, 2016; the search will remain open until
the position is filled.

The Fellows program is designed to enhance the College’s teaching of science
to non-science majors through the Mendel Science Experience program and to
foster the professional development of recent Ph.D. recipients on a career
path leading to faculty positions. Positions are 50:50 research and teaching.
Fellows will conduct research in collaboration with the faculty mentor (Dr.
Joe Toscano) and will have opportunities to supervise undergraduate research.
In addition, fellows will team-teach a laboratory science course for
non-science-majors and develop and teach an upper level undergraduate course.
Initial appointment is for two years, with a third year possible by mutual
agreement between the postdoctoral fellow and faculty mentor.

Candidates with a background in psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, speech
and hearing, or a related field, whose research focuses on speech perception,
hearing, and/or language processing are encouraged to apply. We are especially
interested in candidates who use or who have plans to use computational
modeling, eye-tracking, and/or cognitive neuroscience methods (particularly,
event-related potential techniques). The successful candidate will join the
Word Recognition and Auditory Perception Lab (PI: Toscano), investigating
questions about hearing function, speech recognition, and spoken language
processing (more info: http://wraplab.co/). The post-doctoral fellow will work
with graduate and undergraduate students in the lab, which is equipped with
two testing rooms, an audiometric booth, 64-channel active electrode EEG
system, auditory brainstem response equipment, and an eye-tracker, and he or
she will be provided with a research budget ($4,000/year) to supplement
resources available in the lab and Psychology Department. The fellow will also
co-teach a Mendel Science Experience laboratory course on acoustic phonetics
in the fall of 2016, and teach Cognitive Psychology in the spring of 2017.
Fellows are expected to design and teach a new upper-level psychological
science course in their research area during the second year of the
fellowship.

Applications must include a curriculum vitae, transcripts of all graduate
work, cover letter that includes a statement of career goals, research
statement that indicates collaboration with the faculty mentor, sample
publications, and a proposal for teaching that includes an upper level
psychological science elective.

Villanova is a Catholic university sponsored by the Augustinian order.
Diversity and inclusion have been and will continue to be an integral
component of Villanova University’s mission. The University is an Equal
Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer and seeks candidates who understand,
respect and can contribute to the University’s mission and values.

Application Deadline: 14-Mar-2016 (Open until filled)
