Description:

MindCORE (Mind Center for Outreach, Research, and Education) seeks to recruit
outstanding postdoctoral researchers for our Research Fellowship for
Post-doctoral Scholars. Housed within the School of Arts and Sciences of the
University of Pennsylvania, MindCORE is an interdisciplinary effort to
understand human intelligence and behavior. 

Designed for individuals who have recently obtained a PhD degree in
psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy or other cognitive science
discipline, the MindCORE Fellowship is a springboard for young researchers as
they establish their own research program.  Fellows are also encouraged to
pursue collaborative research with faculty working across disciplines at Penn.

Benefits:
Fellows receive a competitive salary and health insurance plus a modest
research budget. Fellows also benefit from access to the greater community of
academics including visiting scholars plus leading research facilities
equipped with cutting-edge instrumentation all on an urban campus in a vibrant
city. Fellows are invited to join regular working group meetings within their
field plus career development workshops aimed at young researchers, and will
be provided with a mentoring committee. Funding is provided in one year terms
renewable for up to three years.

Eligibility & Application:
- Applicants must have formally completed all requirements of the PhD degree
and provide a copy of their diploma at the time of appointment. Candidates
must submit 1-2 page research statement that identifies at least two MindCORE
faculty at Penn (https://mindcore.sas.upenn.edu/people/) with whom the
applicant would be interested in collaborating, along with a CV and contact
information for two referees. Email complete application packets to the
application email provided below.
- Applications will be reviewed beginning January 3, 2020, continuing until
positions are filled.

Selection:
All eligible and complete applications will be evaluated by the Selection
Committee and are judged on the following criteria:
- Scientific excellence
- Scientific match and interdisciplinarity
- Career potential

MindCORE seeks to award 2 post-doctoral Fellowships per year. Positions may
start as early as July 1, 2020. Questions? Contact pennmindcore at sas.upenn.edu
