The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.
Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page at http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been
set up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

University or Organization: SISSA
Department: Cognitive Neuroscience Sector
Job Location: Trieste, Italy
Web Address: http://www.sissa.it/cns/
Job Rank: Group Leader & Faculty
Specialty Areas: Cognitive Science; Language &/or Higher Cognitive Function
Description:
The Cognitive Neuroscience Sector at SISSA seeks to recruit independent
group leaders.
The 3-year Plan approved by SISSA last Fall includes strengthening
cognitive neuroscience research and identifies as priorities:
- Behavioural Neuroscience, investigated through electrophysiology in awake
animals
- Cognitive Development and/or Learning
- Functional Imaging, in connection with the new fMRI-sharing agreement in
Udine
- Language and/or Higher Cognitive Function
The Sector aims to identify up to 3 suitable candidates already this
Spring, although the appointments and so the establishment of new research
groups may be scattered over the period 2008-10. The Sector is particularly
interested in reaching candidates with no previous history of collaboration
with SISSA. If selected, they will be offered positions at a level
commensurate with their qualifications, in the expectation that within 5
years they will succeed in obtaining tenure as Associate or Full
Professors. Candidates with whose work SISSA is familiar may be offered ad
hoc arrangements if selected, but they will first be assessed together with
the others.
SISSA is one of the three purely postgraduate and postdoctoral institutions
within the Italian university system. It operates in English and the Sector
is keen to enhance its international character and its intellectual
diversity. The Sector currently has 23 PhD students supported on SISSA
fellowships, almost half of whom are not Italians. Postdocs, however, are
normally supported by individual research funding. Faculty members are
required to teach limited PhD mini-courses, and to individually supervise
the research of students in their groups. Current faculty members are
Mathew Diamond, Jacques Mehler, Raffaella Rumiati, Tim Shallice and
Alessandro Treves, with visiting professors Evan Balaban, Luca Bonatti and
Marina Nespor. Further information about the Sector can be found on the
webpage listed above.
Those interested should write to Alessandro Treves, attaching their
curriculum vitae. Receipt of CVs will be acknowledged weekly.
Application Deadline: Open until filled.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations
can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax
payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your
financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny.
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
