Postdoctoral Position to Study the Neurobiology of Language in Real-World Contexts

The Language, Action, and Brain Lab (http://lablab.hamilton.edu/) at Hamilton College is seeking a postdoctoral-fellow interested in understanding the organization of language and the brain from a more naturalistic social, developmental, and cognitive neuroscience perspective. We seek an individual who has recently graduated with a Ph.D. and who has experience with eye-tracking, high-density electroencephalography (EEG), and/or functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and evidence of productive research. Applicants will be working with a large number of highly intelligent and motivated undergraduate research assistants. There is opportunity to work in collaboration with the nearby Center for Language and Brain (http://www.colgate.edu/academics/centersandinstitutes/languageandbrain). Hamilton College is located at the foot of the Adirondack Mountains in beautiful New York State and is within driving distance of New York City. The position is for two years and offers a competitive salary (funded by NIH-NICHD R00 HD060307 – “Neurobiology of Speech Perception in Real-World Contexts”).

To apply, please submit a curriculum vita, cover letter, two letters of recommendation, and representative publications to Dr. Jeremy I. Skipper at jskipper@hamilton.edu before December 1st. The position will begin when filled. Hamilton College is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer and is committed to diversity in all areas of the campus community.
