Directory         1.     Jeffrey Runner , Cognitive Science, Computational Linguistics, General Linguistics: PhD Student, University of Rochester, USA Message 1: Cognitive Science, Computational Linguistics, General Linguistics: PhD Student, University of Rochester, USA Date: 05-Jan-2011 From: Jeffrey Runner <runnerling.rochester.edu> Subject: Cognitive Science, Computational Linguistics, General Linguistics: PhD Student, University of Rochester, USA E-mail this message to a friend Institution/Organization: University of Rochester Level: PhD Duties: Research,Teaching Specialty Areas: Cognitive Science; Computational Linguistics; General Linguistics Description: The department of Brain & Cognitive Sciences and the department of Linguistics at the University of Rochester invite applications from students interested in pursuing a joint PhD in Brain & Cognitive Sciences and Linguistics. The department of Linguistics (http://www.ling.rochester.edu/) combines strengths in formal linguistics--syntax, semantics, pragmatics, phonetics and phonology--with experimental and empirical methodologies. The department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences (http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/) combines strengths in language research--language processing, language acquisition, brain and language--with vision, and neuroscience, which includes computational neuroscience, learning and plasticity. The language researchers in these departments--along with those in Computer Science and Philosophy--constitute Rochester's Center for Language Sciences. This year we are particularly interested in applicants who want to investigate the formal syntactic and semantic properties of language structure using experimental and empirical techniques. We welcome applications from students interested in working in the interdisciplinary environment provided by the Center for Language Sciences, which encourages using the tools of both linguistics and the other cognitive sciences in investigating linguistic problems. Students interested in the joint Brain & Cognitive Sciences/Linguistics PhD program should apply through the Brain & Cognitive Sciences department (http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/graduate/guidelines.html), by January 15, 2011 (note that though the web page lists January 1 as the deadline, applications for the joint degree received by January 15 will be given full consideration). Please mention your interest in the joint BCS/LIN degree in your application. For further information, please see the Center for Language Sciences web pages (http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/cls/) or contact Jeff Runner (runnerling.rochester.edu).
