Post-doc at JHU

Outstanding candidates are invited to apply for a postdoctoral fellowship in the Language and Cognition Lab of the Department of Cognitive Science at the Johns Hopkins University. The fellow will work on one or more projects concerning the representation of space and spatial language in normally developing children and adults, as well as individuals with neurological impairment, including people with Williams syndrome. Fellows will be expected to select one or more project in the lab as his/her focus, but will also be expected to provide general support for the lab's many projects. We seek candidates who have broad interdisciplinary training in cognitive science, with a focus on space and/or language, and a strong interest in development, learning and plasticity. Candidates will have access to state-of-the-art computer and eye-tracking equipment, highly accessible subject pool, and imaging facilities, should those be needed. The Department of Cognitive Science provides an intensely energetic and interdisciplinary environment with strong ties to other departments working on issues of mind and brain at Johns Hopkins. Funding is guaranteed for one year, and renewable contingent on review for up to 3 years. Applications will be reviewed immediately and the position will remain open until filled, with a start date of July 1, 2011 or later.

Please send vita, research statement, and three letters of recommendation to:
