*POST-DOCTORAL POSITION IN PSYCHOLINGUISTICS*


*Department of Hearing and Speech SciencesProgram in Neuroscience and
Cognitive ScienceUniversity of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA*

Dr. Jared Novick of the University of Maryland (UMD) and Dr. Albert Kim of
the University of Colorado-Boulder (CU) are seeking to hire a post-doctoral
researcher to work on a collaborative initiative funded by the National
Science Foundation entitled, Direct Impacts of Executive Functions on
Language Comprehension: Evidence from Eye Movements and Electrophysiology.
The project combines EEG and eye-tracking methods to provide a multi-modal
characterization of the neurocognitive processes that serve language
comprehension, focusing on how attention and cognitive control contribute
to adult sentence processing.

The post-doctoral researcher is expected to take a lead role in designing
and conducting experimental work and to participate fully in the
intellectual life of both labs across institutions. The position will be
based at Maryland but theoretical and methodological training will be
provided by both PIs through frequent joint discussions, UMD-CU lab
meetings, and travel to Boulder. The researcher is also expected to
contribute to the interdisciplinary group of language scientists at
Maryland (https://languagescience.umd.edu/) including faculty, post-docs,
and students in Hearing and Speech Sciences, Psychology, Linguistics,
Computer Science and related disciplines, which forms a large and vibrant
community. Both Maryland and Colorado house state-of-the-art facilities for
conducting EEG and eye-tracking research, which will serve as a centerpiece
to this position.

The start date is flexible, but no later than July 1, 2021. It is for an
initial period of one year with potential extension for an additional two
years. One does NOT have to be a U.S. Citizen to apply.

QUALIFICATIONS: A Ph.D. in Psychology, Linguistics, Cognitive Science,
Communication Sciences and Disorders, or a related field is required.
Research experience within language processing is expected but not
required. Familiarity with eye-tracking and/or EEG methods is advantageous
but not required.

TO APPLY: Please complete an online application at https://ejobs.umd.edu
(job position #118716). Required materials include a CV, cover letter, two
(2) samples of written work, and the names and email addresses of three (3)
reference providers, who will upload letters directly into the system. For
best consideration, submit your application by December 1, 2020.  For
questions, contact Jared Novick via email at jnovick1 at umd.edu.
