POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS AT INDIANA UNIVERSITY 

   Postdoctoral Traineeships in MODELING OF COGNITIVE PROCESSES 

   Please call this notice to the attention of all interested parties.

   The Psychology Department and Cognitive Science Programs at Indiana
University are pleased to announce the availability of one or more
Postdoctoral Traineeships in the area of Modeling of Cognitive
Processes. The appointment will pay rates appropriate for a new PhD
(about $18,800), and will be for one year, starting after July 1,
1993. The duration could be extended to two years if a training grant
from NIH is funded as anticipated (we should receive final
notification by May 1). 

   Post-docs are offered to qualified individuals who wish to further
their training in mathematical modeling or computer simulation
modeling, in any substantive area of cognitive psychology or Cognitive
Science. 

   We are particularly interested in applicants with strong
mathematical, scientific, and research credentials. Indiana University
has superb computational and research facilities, and faculty with
outstanding credentials in this area of research, including Richard
Shiffrin and James Townsend, co-directors of the training program, and
Robert Nosofsky, Donald Robinson, John Castellan, John Kruschke,
Robert Goldstone, Geoffrey Bingham, and Robert Port. 

   Trainees will be expected to carry out original theoretical and
empirical research in association with one or more of these faculty
and their laboratories, and to interact with other relevant faculty
and the other pre- and postdoctoral trainees. 

   Interested applicants should send an up to date vitae, personal
letter describing their specific research interests, relevant
background, goals, and career plans, and reference letters from two
individuals. Relevant reprints and preprints should also be sent.
Women, minority group members, and handicapped individuals are urged
to apply. PLEASE NOTE: The conditions of our anticipated grant
restrict awards to US citizens, or current green card holders. Awards
will also have a 'payback' provision, generally requiring awardees to
carry out research or teach for an equivalent period after termination
of the traineeship. Send all materials to:
