Subject: Cognitive Science; Neurolinguistics; Psycholinguistics: Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Texas at Dallas, USA

University or Organization: The University of Texas at Dallas Callier Center for Communication Disorders 
Department: School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences
Job Location: Texas, USA 
Web Address: http://www.utdallas.edu/calliercenter/research/callier-postdoctoral-program.php
Job Title: Callier Postdoctoral Fellowship (Research Scientist)
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: Cognitive Science; Neurolinguistics; Psycholinguistics; Bilingualism

Description:

The Callier Center provides outstanding opportunities for interdisciplinary
research into basic and applied aspects of communication sciences and
disorders, psychological sciences, and cognition and neuroscience. The Callier
Center’s two locations (in Dallas adjacent to UT Southwestern Medical Center,
and on the UT Dallas campus in Richardson) house research laboratories with
cutting‐edge equipment to integrate areas as diverse as neuroscience, speech
processing and production, auditory and visual perception, functional brain
imaging, electrophysiology, kinematics and behavioral sciences. In addition to
an on‐site preschool, the center houses outpatient clinics and programs that
serve adults and children with a variety of speech, language and hearing
disorders.

Research programs address the broad themes of communication development,
disorders, and technologies, as well as hearing loss and prevention. Research
in communication development includes studies of electrophysiological and
other correlates of child language acquisition (Maguire, Dollaghan); wireless
assistive technology and speech perception (Thibodeau); preliteracy (van
Kleeck); and bilingual child language development (Rojas). Research in
communication disorders includes studies of children and adolescents with
hearing loss and cochlear implants (Warner-Czyz): autism (Rollins, Stillman);
neurologic deficits (Campbell, Katz, Wang, Ulatowska) and the neurological
(Evans) and language-motor correlates of Specific Language Impairment and
Speech Sound Disorders (Goffman). Research in hearing loss prevention is
broadly based, including pre-clinical wet-lab research to understand effects
of noise on hearing and processing of signals in noise, assessment of drugs
that prevent hearing loss and tinnitus, and investigations into novel apps and
outreach strategies for adolescents and young adults (Le Prell, Lobarinas).
Other studies focus on neuromodulation of central nervous system activity to
alleviate tinnitus (Vanneste). In addition, two new Callier initiatives
address Autism Spectrum Disorders and the quality of scientific evidence for
clinical decision-making.

The Callier Postdoctoral Fellow will receive 2 years of full‐time support to
develop a program of independent research in a field related to communication
sciences and disorders, including psychology, linguistics, and neuroscience in
collaboration with one or more of the Callier Center faculty. The Fellow will
be appointed as a UT Dallas Faculty‐Research Scientist with an 11-month salary
of approximately $48,000, and a standard benefits package, financial support
for travel and research supplies.

The successful candidate will have a doctoral degree in a relevant field and a
record of scholarly productivity appropriate to his or her history. Preference
will be given to applicants whose research will use the Callier Center’s
unique resources to extend its research portfolio.

Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a one-page cover letter that
specifies the applicant’s research plan and a potential mentor, up to three
scholarly publications, and three letters of recommendation to the application
link below. For more information, go to
http://utdallas.edu/calliercenter/postdoc . 

The University of Texas at Dallas is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment
without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability,
pregnancy, age, veteran status, genetic information or sexual orientation.
