Description:

The Neuroscience of Language Lab at NYU Abu Dhabi, directed by Liina Pylkkänen
& Alec Marantz (http://www.psych.nyu.edu/nellab/), has openings for
pre-doctoral research assistantships. All positions are based in Abu Dhabi but
involve regular travel to New York.

A BA/BS, MA/MS in a cognitive science-related discipline (psychology,
linguistics, neuroscience, etc.) or computer science is required. The hired
individuals would ideally have experience with psycho- and neurolinguistic
experiments, a background in statistics and programming (especially Python and
R). A strong computational background and knowledge of Arabic are both big
plusses.

The pre-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
positions in spring or summer 2020. Evaluation of applications will begin
immediately.

To apply, please submit the following to the application link provided below:
- Cover letter,
- CV, and
- Names of two recommenders

(liina.pylkkanen at nyu.edu) and Alec Marantz (marantz at nyu.edu)
