University are seeking to hire a post-doctoral researcher to work on a
collaborative initiative funded by the National Institutes of Health
entitled, *Neurocognitive Mechanisms of Sentence Production Impairment in
Aphasia*. This project examines the interaction between linguistic

production and post-stroke aphasia using behavioral and neurophysiological
(magnetoencephalography, MEG) techniques. The post-doctoral researcher will
primarily be involved in developing, conducting, and analyzing MEG aspects
of the project. Secondary responsibilities involve behavioral
experimentations with aphasia. The position will be based at the University
of Maryland College Park campus, but training and supervision will be
provided by all PIs through joint discussions and lab meetings.


The start date is April 15, 2024, with some flexibility. This position is

years. One does NOT have to be a US Citizen to apply.



*QUALIFICATIONS:* A PhD in cognitive science, neuroscience, linguistics,
speech-language pathology or related field by the start date is required.
Desired expertise includes electrophysiological and/or MRI techniques,
strong programming skills (Python preferred), and language processing and
production. Background and/or interest in adult language disorders,
particularly aphasia, is particularly relevant. Candidates are expected to
be able to function independently and possess excellent verbal and written
communication skills.
