POST-DOCTORAL POSITION IN MEMORY AND READING
Applications are invited for a post-doctoral position at Haskins
Laboratories, New Haven, CT. Applications from NON-US CITIZENS are
welcome.
This research is funded by an NIH/NICHD grant directed by Dr. Julie
Van Dyke, and involves investigations of individual differences in
memory retrieval and sensitivity to interference in reading
comprehension. The primary method of investigation is the speed-
accuracy tradeoff (SAT) technique, however eye-tracking and
computational modeling methods will also be used. The project targets
the population of non-college-bound adolescents, who have reading
difficulties serious enough to interfere with successful completion of
high-school, but who have not received a diagnosis of dyslexia. More
information about the project can be found at http://www.haskins.yale.edu/staff/vandyke.html
. We are particularly interested in postdoctoral fellows with
expertise in mixed-effects modeling using the R statistical package.
We encourage applications from candidates with expertise in the areas
of memory, psycholinguistics, computational linguistics, or reading.
The position is available for one year, renewable for a second year.
Haskins Laboratories is an independent, world-renowned center for the
study of the cognitive and neurobiological foundations of spoken and
written language, disability, and instruction. Additional information
about the institution can be found at http://www.haskins.yale.edu.
Interested applicants should send a personal statement describing
their graduate training and how their research interests relate to
those of the project (described at the website above), a curriculum
vitae, and arrange to have three letters of recommendation sent to
Julie Van Dyke at [email protected]. Materials may also be
sent to the mailing address at the bottom of this message. Review of
applications will begin IMMEDIATELY and continue until the position
has been filled; anticipated start date is Sept 1.
