University of California San Diego
Post-doctoral Researcher

Seeking Post-Doctoral Researcher to Investigate the Neural Correlates of
Language Processing and Language Development 
Multimodal Language Development Lab, Department of Linguistics, UC San Diego

We are seeking a full-time post-doctoral researcher to study the neural
correlates of brain language processing and language acquisition in
congenitally deaf adults and adolescents. The researcher will be housed in the
MLD Lab (http://mayberrylab.ucsd.edu/) under the direction of Dr. Rachel
Mayberry, in collaboration with Dr. Eric Halgren of the Center for Brain
Activity Mapping (http://cbam.ucsd.edu/). This NIH funded project combines
psycholinguistic and neuroimaging paradigms (fMRI, DTI, and anatomical
analyses) to investigate the effects of early and delayed language acquisition
on the brain language system using American Sign Language. The position is for
one year with the possibility of renewal to begin in April or May 2020,
circumstances permitting.

Required Qualifications:

- Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience, Psychology, Linguistics or related field
- Experience collecting, processing, and analyzing neuroimaging data
- Strong statistical skills
- Excellent programming skills (e.g. Python, MATLAB)
- Experience designing experiments
- Strong publication record
- Excellent interpersonal skills

Additional Preferred Qualifications:

- Experience with MRI, DTI, and possibility VBM or SBA
- A broad understanding of the brain language system and language acquisition
- Experience testing and interacting with humans subjects, including children
- Knowledge of American Sign Language or a willingness to learn

How to apply:

Interested applicants should email their CV, a cover letter describing their
research interests and career goals, and contact information for 2-3
