Description:

Pre- and post-doctoral research positions in MEG research in the NYU
Neuroscience of Language Lab (PIs Pylkkänen & Marantz in New York or Abu
Dhabi)

The NYU Neuroscience of Language Lab (http://www.psych.nyu.edu/nellab/) has
openings for research scientists, which could be realized either as
pre-doctoral RAships or as a post-doc. The RAs could be based either in our
Abu Dhabi or New York labs. A post-doctoral fellow would be based in Abu
Dhabi.

A BA/BS, MA/MS or PhD in a cognitive science-related discipline (psychology,
linguistics, neuroscience, etc.) or computer science is required. 

The hired person would ideally have experience with psycho- and
neurolinguistic experiments, a background in statistics and some programming
ability (especially Python and Matlab). A strong computational background and
knowledge Arabic would both be big plusses.  

The pre/post-doc's role will depend on the specific qualifications of the
person hired, but will in all cases involve MEG research on structural and/or
semantic aspects of language. 

In Abu Dhabi, salary and benefits, including travel and lodging, are quite
generous. We are looking to start these position in summer 2017. Evaluation of
applications will begin immediately. For the RAships, please indicate if you
have a preference for either Abu Dhabi or New York.

To apply, please email cover letter, CV and names of references to Liina
Pylkkanen and Alec Marantz at the email addresses below.



Application Deadline: 30-Jun-2017 (Open until filled)
