<div dir="ltr">Cognitive Scientists:<br><br>We have an opening for a postdoctoral scholar as part of a recently funded project. The successful candidate will have opportunities for mentorship from multiple local faculty involved in the project (Amanda Seidl, Bridgette Kelleher, and myself - Arielle Borovsky).  There are opportunities to develop independent queries while contributing to a larger project. International applicants are eligible to apply. Multiple years of funding are available. Would it be possible to share this announcement with PhD students who will be graduating this Spring / Summer / Fall? Details below:<span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Times;margin:0px;color:black"></span><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Times;margin:0px;color:black"></span><p style="font-size:12pt;margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;text-align:center" align="center"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Times;margin:0px;color:black"><b>Postdoctoral fellowship focused on sensory cues in word learning and recognition<span> </span></b><u></u> <u></u></span></p>

<span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Times;color:black">Join an 
interdisciplinary and dynamic international team working to carry out a 
funded project which will explore how multisensory cues impact word 
learning and recognition.
 This work will allow us to answer fundamental questions about how 
different (and different numbers of) sensory cues might impact word 
learning and how humans use such cues with their words in interactions 
with infants worldwide. For example, we might ask whether
 gustatory cues linked with an object support learning of associated 
words more than olfactory, visual, and tactile cues or whether 
caregivers in different cultures talk more or less about different 
sensory cues when interacting with infants. The postdoctoral
 fellow will be encouraged to integrate and develop independent projects
 within the scope of the project, to think about ways in which sensory 
cues might be exploited in clinical approaches, and to develop as a 
scholar within a supportive, collaborative, diverse,
 welcoming, and stimulating environment.<u></u> <u></u></span></p>
