collaborative initiative funded by the National Institutes of Health entitled, <i>Neurocognitive
Mechanisms of Sentence Production Impairment in Aphasia</i>. This project
examines the interaction between linguistic abilities, processing capacity, and
neural mechanisms in normal sentence 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. </span></p>
