[R-lang] REVISED ANNOUNCEMENT: POST-DOC IN MEMORY AND READING

[Julie Van Dyke]

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 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 IMMEDIATELY and continue until the position  
has been filled; anticipated start date is Sept 1.
