美国乔治敦大学博士后职位招聘–语言学、心理学、认知神经科学、计算机科学、工程和/或相关领域

Description

The Orpella Lab at Georgetown University Medical Center has an open Postdoctoral researcher position (2 to 3.5 years). The lab welcomes applicants interested in any of the following areas of research and their intersection:

– Speech production and sensory-motor interactions

– Language statistical learning

– Neural bases of stuttering

In addition to working on pre-planned projects, the postdoc will have the opportunity to develop their own ideas and will be encouraged to collaborate with other lab members and members of the larger research community. The Orpella Lab is part of the Neuroscience Department at Georgetown University Medical Center, home to a diverse and vibrant community of faculty, researchers, and graduate students working at all levels of analysis.

Postdocs at the Orpella Lab benefit from an excellent research environment, including access to state-of-the-art neuroimaging facilities (MRI, MEG, EEG, TMS, eye-tracking), inspiring scientific activities (workshops, retreats, seminars), and other opportunities for growth and networking (e.g., funding for conferences and external workshops), as well as a comprehensive benefits package.

Successful candidates must have a solid background (Bachelor’s and Ph.D.) in Linguistics, Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience, Computer Science, Engineering, and/or related fields, as well as good theoretical knowledge of their specific area of research (e.g., speech, statistical learning). Advanced programming and analysis skills in Python, Matlab, and/or R are required. Computational modeling skills, while not essential, are a plus.

The initial appointment is for 2 years (full-time) but may be extended to up to 3.5 years, based on performance. Salary will be at GUMC postdoctoral rates and commensurate with experience. While these are fully funded positions, eligible candidates will be encouraged to apply for funding at the NIH, NSF, and other US funding agencies.

Informal inquiries can be addressed to Dr. Orpella at joan.orpella@georgetown.edu .

Interfolio applications should include a Curriculum Vitae, representative publications, a cover letter with a brief statement of research interests, and the names of three referees. The position is available from September 1st, 2024, with a flexible start date. Applications will be considered in the order received. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
