[R-lang] Post-doc using mixed-effects modeling

[Julie Van Dyke]

POST-DOCTORAL POSITION IN MEMORY AND READING

Applications are invited for a post-doctoral position at Haskins  
Laboratories, New Haven, CT.  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 jvandyke at haskins.yale.edu.  Materials may also be  
sent to the mailing address at the bottom of this message.  Review of  
applications will begin on June 1 and continue until the position has  
been filled; anticipated start date is Sept 1.
