The Institute for Research in Cognitive Science (IRCS) at
the University of Pennsylvania provides opportunities for several
postdoctoral positions in Cognitive Science.
The Institute brings together researchers in the common
pursuit of an understanding of the human mind, and fosters the
development of new technology arising from this understanding.
Over 40 Penn faculty members across 5 departments are currently
associated with IRCS, linking together the disciplines of
computer and information science, linguistics, mathematical
logic, neuroscience, philosophy, and psychology.
Below are listed those IRCS members most relevant to
CVNET readers:
