Postdoctoral position in cognitive control and language production

[Randall C. O'Reilly]

Postdoctoral position in cognitive control and language production:

Researchers collaborating through an NIMH-funded Interdisciplinary Behavioral 
Science Center are investigating the role of prefrontal cortex and mechanisms 
of cognitive control in language production. The research group includes 
Randy O'Reilly (University of Colorado, Boulder), Jonathan Cohen (Princeton 
University), Maryellen MacDonald (University of Wisconsin), and Todd Braver 
(Washington University). The postdoctoral position will be based at either 
Colorado or Princeton but will involve interaction with investigators at all 
four sites. The postdoctoral researcher will collaborate on computational and 
empirical studies of serial ordering and maintaining activation of 
information during utterance planning.

Applicants should have a strong background in language production and 
computational modeling. Salary will be based on NIH postdoctoral scale, and 
the position may be renewable beyond the first year. The Ph.D. must be 
completed before beginning the position.

Applicants should send a CV, a statement of research interests, representative 
preprints/reprints, and arrange for three letters of reference to be sent via 
email to Randall O'Reilly: oreilly at psych.colorado.edu (PDF format preferred). 
Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis, and will continue until 
the position is filled.  The start date is flexible, but preferably within 
the coming academic year. For more information and contact addresses, see
