Job Title: Postdoctoral Fellowship in Speech Perception

Description:

Villanova University’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences invites
applications for a Mendel Science Experience Postdoctoral Fellowship within
the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences in the area of speech
perception and language processing. The position has a starting date of August
2023. Applicants should submit their application package online via the link
below. Review of applications will begin on November 1, 2022, and the search
will remain open until the position is filled.

The Fellows program is designed to enhance the College’s teaching of science
to non-science majors through the Mendel Science Experience program and to
foster the professional development of recent Ph.D. recipients on a career
path leading to faculty positions. Positions are 50:50 research and teaching.
Fellows will conduct research in collaboration with the faculty mentor (Dr.
Joe Toscano) and will have opportunities to supervise student research. In
addition, fellows will team-teach a laboratory science course for
non-science-majors and develop and teach an upper level undergraduate or
graduate course. Initial appointment is for two years, with a third year
possible by mutual agreement between the postdoctoral fellow and faculty
mentor.

Candidates with a background in psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, speech
and hearing, or a related field, whose research focuses on speech perception,
hearing, and/or language processing are encouraged to apply. We are especially
interested in candidates who use or who have plans to use computational
modeling, eye-tracking, and/or cognitive neuroscience methods (particularly,
event-related potential techniques). The successful candidate will join the
Word Recognition and Auditory Perception Lab (PI: Toscano), investigating
questions about speech recognition, spoken language processing, and hearing
function (more info: http://wraplab.co/). The post-doctoral fellow will work
with graduate and undergraduate students in the lab, which is equipped with
two testing rooms, an audiometric booth, 64-channel active electrode EEG
system, auditory brainstem response equipment, and an eye-tracker. The fellow
will also be provided with a research budget ($4,000/year) to supplement
resources available in the lab and the Department of Psychological and Brain
Sciences. The fellow will co-teach a Mendel Science Experience laboratory
course on speech perception in the fall of 2023, and teach that course or
related courses (e.g., Cognitive Psychology) in future semesters. Fellows are
expected to teach an upper-level course in their area of expertise during the
second year of the fellowship.

Villanova is a Catholic university sponsored by the Augustinian order.
Diversity and inclusion have been and will continue to be an integral
component of Villanova University’s mission. The University is an Equal
Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer and seeks candidates who understand,
respect and can contribute to the University’s mission and values.

Applications must include:
 - Curriculum vitae
 - Transcripts of all graduate work
 - Cover letter that includes a statement of career goals
 - Research statement that indicates potential for collaboration with the
faculty mentor
 - Sample publications
 - Teaching statement that includes a proposal for an upper level
psychological science elective
 - Three letters of recommendation. References will be contacted via email to
submit confidential letters of recommendation.
