Postdoctoral Position in Cognitive Control and Language Production
Job Advertisement
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: 
(PDF format
preferred). Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis, and
will continue until the position is filled. The start date is
