Description:

Post-doc position University of Pittsburgh (LRDC)

We seek a post-doc to join an NSF-funded project that studies word-by-word
incremental processes, including comparisons of L1 and L2 reading. The project
combines probabilistic language models, ERPs and behavioral measures with
linear mixed-effects models to study these processes with authentic texts.  We
assess the relative contributions of word-based (lexical) and syntactic
resources to comprehension, including individual differences and language
background effects. 
 
The post-doc should have a background in one of the following areas: 
 - EEG/ERPs data analysis, including time frequency, source or connectivity
analyses, 
 - advanced statistical analyses or machine learning; 
 - computational language tools or NLP. 

A PhD in a relevant discipline is required.

This 2-year position can begin anytime between March 1, 2022 and September 1,
2022.   Contact Charles Perfetti (Perfetti at pitt.edu) or Lin Chen
(linc at pitt.edu) by December 20. Please attach your CV.
