>POSTDOC POSITION: PSYCHOLINGUISTICS AND NEUROLINGUISTICS
>
>We are seeking to hire one full-time Postdoctoral Fellow (or very highly
>qualified non-PhD) to carry out psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic
>research.  The position is in the Brain and Language Lab at the Georgetown
>Institute for Cognitive and Computational Sciences (GICCS) and the
>Department of Neuroscience at Georgetown University.  GICCS is dedicated
>to understanding the relation between brain and cognition.  It is composed
>of a group of about fifteen researchers pursuing a variety of lines of
>research in cognition, computation, and neuroscience.
>
>At the Brain and Language lab we are interested in the neural,
>computational, psychological, and developmental bases of language and
>memory.  In particular, our work attempts to elucidate the underpinnings
>of lexicon  and grammar, with a particular interest in issues of
>modularity, neural localization, and domain-specificity/generality.  We
>focus on the study of morphology, syntax, and semantics, and the
>relationship of these language components to the declarative and
>procedural memory systems.
>
>The successful candidate will be primarily responsible for carrying out
>(1) Neurolinguistic studies of subjects with adult-onset brain damage
>(aphasia; Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's disease;
>schizophrenia; and other conditions) and those with developmental language
>disorders (Specific Language Impairment, Williams syndrome, ADHD, and
>others); (2) psycholinguistic studies of normal adults and children.
>
>The candidate will have the opportunity to be involved in projects using
>EEG/ERP (Electroencephalography/Event-Related Potentials), MEG
>(Magnetoencephalography), and fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance
>Imaging).
>
>The minimum requirements for the position are graduate training and/or
>research experience in at least two of the following three areas:
>psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics (research with cognitively impaired
>patients or functional neuroimaging), and theoretical linguistics
>(preferably syntax or morphology).  She or he must be very comfortable
>with computers.  Programming abilities and a knowledge of statistics are a
>plus.  The position is for a minimum of two years, and possibly up to
>four.  Consideration of applicants will begin immediately, and will end
>when the position is filled.  Salary will be highly competitive.  To
>apply, please send Michael Ullman a resume (preferably by email) and
>arrange to have three letters of recommendation sent to him (preferably by
>email).  Georgetown University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity
>employer.
