Job Title: MindCORE Research Fellowship for Postdoctoral Scholars
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: General Linguistics

Description:

MindCORE seeks to recruit outstanding postdoctoral researchers for our
Research Fellowship for Postdoctoral Scholars. Housed within the
School of Arts & 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
neuroscience, psychology, linguistics, philosophy, computer science,
or other cognitive science discipline, the MindCORE Fellowship is a
springboard for early researchers as they establish their own research
program. Fellows are expected to pursue collaborative relationships
with faculty working across disciplines at Penn. These collaborations
may take different forms, from engaging in research projects with
multiple faculty independently to generating new collaborative
research that brings multiple faculty together to contributing to
interdisciplinary discussion and reading groups. Find a list of
current and former MindCORE Fellows here. MindCORE awards ~2
postdoctoral Fellowships per year. Positions may start as early as
July 1, 2025.

Benefits
Fellows receive a competitive salary, relocation allowance, health
insurance, plus a modest research budget of $20,000. 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. This is
campus-based (not remote) position.

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.
Penn has a five-year term limit for postdocs, so candidates ideally

at least three MindCORE faculty at Penn
(https://mindcore.sas.upenn.edu/people/faculty-and-associates/) with

addressing the applicant’s strengths with respect to the selection
criteria below. Note that to evaluate potential to lead within a
diverse community at Penn, we consider past experiences, activities,
and future plans to support diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Applicants should be mindful of the interdisciplinary backgrounds of
the reviewers and make the proposals clear to readers.
- Application documents should be saved with candidate’s
Lastname_Firstname.pdf in one PDF file in this order: cover letter,
