*PhD** Student *

*University of Nevada, Las Vegas *

The Language Development Lab invites applications for a position of a PhD
student in Language Acquisition.  The Language Development Lab investigates
how humans understand, produce, and learn language. Our work focuses on two
broad themes: the learning of the meaning of words, and learning how
elements are structured in a language. Our studies simulate how children
discover the structure of their language when properties of the language
can be controlled. Much of our work involves behavioral studies with
children and adults using behavioral measures, such as eye-tracking. This
work is highly interdisciplinary and makes direct ties to work done in
Psychology, Linguistics, and Computer Science.

Ph.D. students will be fully funded through the department with Research
and Teaching Assistantships. The deadline for application is *December 1,
2018*. If you are interested in applying, please visit the lab website for
