University or Organization: University of Maryland, College Park
Department: Maryland Language Science Center

Web Address: https://languagescience.umd.edu
Job Title: Post-Doctoral Associate

Description:

The Maryland Language Science Center at the University of Maryland,
College Park seeks to recruit an outstanding postdoctoral researcher
for our inaugural Fellowship for Postdoctoral Scholars. The goal of
the fellowship is to support early-career researchers as they
establish their own research program, and to develop new, innovative,
interdisciplinary connections within our community. Fellows are
expected to pursue collaborative relationships with faculty in
multiple departments and disciplines at the University of Maryland.
These collaborations may take different forms: engaging in research
projects with multiple faculty independently, generating new
collaborative research that brings multiple faculty together, and/or
contributing to interdisciplinary discussion and reading groups.

Target start date is in August 2025. Applications are due by January
6, submitted through this link: https://ejobs.umd.edu/postings/124097.

About language science at UMD
MLSC is home to the largest and most integrated language science
community in North America, spanning 7 colleges and nearly 20
different units across the university. Researchers have ready access
to relevant resources to support a range of research programs
including equipment and facilities (e.g., eye-tracking, EEG, fNIRS,
MEG, fMRI), state-of-art computational resources (e.g., Brendan Iribe
Center for Computer Science and Engineering’s Nexus GPU cluster), and
recruitment databases (e.g., Infant and Child Studies Consortium,
established community partnerships). MLSC coordinates a language
science research lab at the Planet Word Museum in downtown Washington,
DC. UMD language scientists also benefit from close proximity to other
universities (e.g. Gallaudet, Georgetown, Howard) and government
research labs (e.g. NIH), in the Washington, D.C. metro area.

Benefits
Fellows will receive a salary of $70,000, health insurance, and a
modest research budget. Funding is provided in one-year terms
renewable for up to two years. This is a campus-based (not remote)
position, and participating in the on-campus community is a key
benefit and expectation of the fellowship, but the University of
Maryland does allow for telework.

Eligibility & Application
The fellowship is open to researchers with a PhD in any relevant
field, including: neuroscience, psychology, linguistics, education,
communication sciences and disorders, philosophy, computer science, or
other cognitive science disciplines. Applicants must have formally
completed all requirements of the PhD degree and provide a copy of
their diploma at the time of appointment.

Applicants must submit a research statement, CV, and contact
information for at least three references. The research statement (3-5
pages, single-spaced) should outline the applicant’s past research, a
proposed plan for research during the postdoc, and how the proposed
research will contribute to the applicant’s career. The statement
should specifically reference at least three faculty at the University
of Maryland that the applicant would be interested in working with.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to reach out to potential faculty
mentors to discuss potential research and collaborations prior to
submitting an application. The research statement should be written
for a broad audience of language scientists: the selection committee
will include researchers from multiple disciplinary backgrounds, which
may not include the applicant’s own field.
