Applications for the inaugural Fall 2012 class are accepted immediately. In recent years, Tufts has built up a world-renowned faculty in Cognitive Science, some of whom have been prominent since the beginnings of the field. The new joint Ph.D. program has particular interdisciplinary strength in the area of human language, including theoretical linguistics, psycho- and neurolinguistics, reading and dyslexia, and computational linguistics, and it offers considerable expertise as well in other traditional subareas of cognitive science including animal cognition, human memory, behavioral/cognitive/affective neuroscience, cognitive modeling, robotics, and human-computer interaction. The cognitive science faculty reflects the diversity of methods and research paradigms in the field and includes: Daniel Dennett, Ray Jackendoff, Maryanne Wolf, Calvin Gidney, Phillip Holcomb, Gina Kuperberg, Holly A. Taylor, Robert Cook, Ayanna Thomas, Rich Chechile, Ariel M. Goldberg, Heather Urry, Rob Jacob, Matthias Scheutz, David Hammer, Barbara Brizuela, and Christoph Borgers. Interested students are encouraged to visit the Program's web page at http://cogsci.tufts.edu which provides detailed information about the application process as well as contact information for cognitive science faculty.
