Post-doctoral Fellowships: Cognitive Neuroscience of Language & its Disorders

Two-year National Research Service Award fellowships are available at the 
University of Maryland, Baltimore and College Park campuses.  Training

event-related potentials and functional neuroimaging) to the topic of normal 
and/or disordered language processing.   Applicants with doctoral degrees in 
related basic science areas (computer science, neuroscience, linguistics, 
cognitive psychology, etc.) and clinical disciplines (speech/language 
pathology; clinical neuropsychology) are invited to apply.  Applicants must
