University or Organization: Penn State University 
Department: Center for Language Science
Job Location: Pennsylvania, USA 
Web Address: http://cls.psu.edu
Job Title: Postdoctoral Position
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics; Phonetics; Psycholinguistics; Sociolinguistics; Cognitive Neuroscience, Bilingualism


Description:

The Center for Language Science (CLS) at Penn State invites applications for a
postdoctoral position. The CLS is home to a cross-disciplinary research
program that includes the NSF training program, ‘Partnerships for
International Research and Education (PIRE): Translating cognitive and brain
science in the laboratory and field to language learning environments’ that
was awarded to Penn State and the University of California, Riverside. The
program provides training in translational research on language learning and
bilingualism that includes an international perspective and that exploits
opportunities for collaborative research conducted with one of our
international partner sites in South America, Europe, and Asia and in
conjunction with our domestic partner sites. 

We welcome applications from candidates with preparation in any of the
disciplines that contribute to our program and with experience in
translational research (e.g., outreach activities in schools). The successful
candidate will benefit from a highly interactive group of faculty whose
interests include bilingual language processing, language acquisition in
children and adults, language contact, and aging, among other topics.
Applicants with interests in these topics and with an interest in extending
their expertise within experimental psycholinguistics and cognitive
neuroscience are particularly welcome to apply. There is no expectation that
applicants will have had prior experience in research on bilingualism but we
expect candidates to make a commitment to gain expertise in research on
bilingualism using research methods from among the techniques represented by
our groups. Questions about faculty research interests may be directed to
relevant core training faculty listed at
http://pire.la.psu.edu/people/psu-faculty. Administrative questions can be
directed to the Chair of the search committee, pdussias at psu.edu. More
information can be found at http://cls.psu.edu or http://pire.la.psu.edu.  

The appointment will be for one year, with a start date of August 1, 2018.
Salary will follow NSF/NIH guidelines. The PIRE funding requires that we
restrict the search to U.S. citizens and permanent residents only. Applicants
should upload a CV, several 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 translational training during a postdoctoral position,
including previous experience and directions in which the candidate would like
to develop his/her expertise in the language science of bilingualism.
Additionally, applicants should arrange for three letters of recommendation to
be sent separately to Maryam Sinawa at sinawa at psu.edu. Review of applications
will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Candidates
must have completed their Ph.D. by the time of appointment.  Apply online at
the link below.
