PostDoctoral Fellowships in Cognitive Science at Rutgers, NB The
Rutgers Center for Cognitive Science announces the availability of

Research. These awards, funded through the NIMH National Research
Service Award program, can begin in the spring or fall of 2000 for a
term of one year and may be renewed. Deadline for applications is

The language studies aspect of the Fellowship program, administered by
the Center for Cognitive Science, involves members of the departments

laboratories carrying out research on language.
