We have an opening for a post doc in neurolinguistics here at USC.
The position is funded under an NIH training grant, and it is available NOW.

We are looking for someone interested in issues related to language
and aging, broadly construed. That could include: (a) psycholinguistic
studies of language processing in normal elderly or in cases of
neuropathology associated with aging (Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's
Disease, aphasia, dyslexia, etc.); (b) computational models of normal
and impaired language processing; (c) implications of language impairments
for linguistic theory.

The post-doc is for 1-2 years. The person would join a group including
Mark Seidenberg, Maryellen MacDonald, Elaine Andersen, Jean-Roger Vergnaud,
Joseph Aoun, Jack Hawkins, and Jim Gee.

This position would be ideal for someone with a serious background in
linguistics or psycholinguistics who would like to gain some additional
background in neurolinguistics.

Please contact me for additional information. E-mail is marksneuro.usc.edu.
Phone is 213-740-9174.

We also have pre-doctoral fellowships available for students in linguistics
and psycholinguistics. I would be happy to provide further information
for interested parties.
