MindCORE Postdoctoral Research Fellowships



MindCORE (https://mindcore.sas.upenn.edu/) seeks to recruit outstanding postdoctoral researchers for our Research Fellowship for Postdoctoral Scholars. Housed within the School of Arts and 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 psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, 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<https://mindcore.sas.upenn.edu/people/>.



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.



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 (typically July 1, 2023 – Jan 15, 2024). Candidates must submit a research statement that identifies at least three MindCORE faculty<https://mindcore.sas.upenn.edu/people/faculty-and-associates/> (https://mindcore.sas.upenn.edu/people/faculty-and-associates/) at Penn with whom the applicant would be interested in collaborating; along with a CV, and contact information for two referees.

Submitted documents should be saved with candidate’s Lastname_Firstname.PDF in one PDF file in this order: research statement, CV, referees (name, affiliation, email address). Complete applications should be submitted along with some basic information using this form <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/upenn.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0uKCBBP5mp6UML3__;!!IBzWLUs!UGw9Nld5U6VBljzPQXlxP5GiOKBulaw6BuUJM_ek_eLTeZ0d60YM6vHY4hn2xf9UJmwqUlPWw_VlqpfNjDhco_Pzv8ISyQ$> (https://upenn.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0uKCBBP5mp6UML3).
