FYI *Four positions at the NYU Neuroscience of Language Lab (NeLLab)* *1. Lab Manager/RA * Full-time Lab Manager position at the NYU Neurolinguistics Laboratory, with some responsibilities extending to the NYU Abu Dhabi Neuroscience of Language Laboratory. BA/BS or MA/MS in a cognitive science-related discipline (psychology, linguistics, etc.) or computer science is required. The lab manager will be involved in all stages of execution and analysis of MEG/EEG experiments on language processing. Previous experience with MEG or some other cognitive neuroscience method is highly preferred. A background in statistics and some programming ability (especially Matlab) are essential. Preferred start date is July 2010, but this is negotiable. Salary and rank will be commensurate with experience. To apply, please email CV and names of references to Prof. Liina Pylkkänen (liina.pylkkanenheight=2"nyu.edu).edu). height=" *2. RA * Full-time NSF-funded research assistant for Cognitive Neuroscience of Language projects at the KIT/NYU MEG Lab. BA/BS in cognitive science-related discipline (psychology, linguistics, etc.) or computer science. Programming and/or statistics experience a plus. RA would help analyze data from MEG and joint MEG/fMRI experiments and help design and program additional experiments. For 2010-11, research will concentrate on lexical access and morphological decomposition in auditory and visual word perception. Preferred start date is July 2010, but this is negotiable. Salary and rank will be commensurate with experience. To apply, please email CV and names of references to Prof. Alec Marantz (marantzheight=2"nyu.edu).edu). height=" *3. Postdoctoral Position: Cognitive Neuroscientist * 1-year, potentially renewable post-doctoral position in the cognitive neuroscience of language for the NYU Abu Dhabi Neuroscience of Language Laboratory. The researcher will have had experience with evoked response experiments using either MEG or EEG, but preferably both. The main responsibility of the researcher will be to explore the appropriate ways to utilize participant populations of varied linguistic and educational backgrounds to address questions about linguistic universals and language-specific effects. Working with Arabic and East Asian speakers requires nuanced understanding of the linguistic situation on the ground as well as a search for necessary corpus resources and area experts on the languages and language-particular psycholinguistics. A researcher with cross-linguistic experimental experience would be ideal for the job, and someone from either the Gulf area or India would be especially suited for this project. To apply, please send CV, names of three references and a brief statement of research interests and goals to linguistics.neurolabheight=2"nyu.eduu.edu. height=" *4. Postdoctoral Position: Computational Researcher * 1-year, potentially renewable post-doctoral position in computational research for the NYU Abu Dhabi Neuroscience of Language Laboratory. The successful applicant will have had an extensive background in quantitative analysis, statistics, and/or electrophysiological signal processing. The researcher will be responsible for the laboratory's data processing pipeline, from experimental design through final data analysis, and will create and justify statistical tools for neurolinguistic experiments with MEG/EEG data. Though the researcher is expected to work with source localization packages such as MNE and BESA, he/she will be most concerned with issues essentially statistical in nature, e.g. the covariance of stimulus variables, the way to treat data across subjects, the problem of multiple comparisons in whole-brain and whole-epoch analyses, etc. To apply, please send CV, names of three references and a brief statement of research interests and goals to linguistics.neurolabheight=2" nyu.edu.
