    The University of Rochester seeks five or more outstanding
    postdoctoral fellows with research interests in several areas of the
    Cognitive Sciences, including language, learning, and development.
    Three grants from NIH and NSF provide support. (1) An NIH training
    grant is affiliated with the Center for the Sciences of Language.
    The Center brings together faculty and students with interests in
    spoken and signed languages from the Departments of Brain and
    Cognitive Sciences, Computer Science, Linguistics, and Philosophy, as
    well as the interdepartmental program in Neuroscience. We encourage
    applicants from any of these disciplines who have expertise in any
    area of natural language. We are particularly interested in
    postdoctoral fellows who want to contribute to an interdisciplinary
    community. (2) A second NIH training grant spans the disciplines of
    Learning, Development, and Behavior. Applicants should have
    expertise in human or animal research on learning and developmental
    plasticity or in computational modeling. Contributing faculty are in
    the Departments of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Computer Science,
    and the interdepartmental program in Neuroscience. (3) An NSF
    research grant on Learning and Intelligent Systems is directed to
    questions of rapid statistical learning in a variety of domains.
    Applicants should have expertise in behavioral, computational, or
    neurobiological approaches to statistical learning in humans or
    animals. Contributing faculty are in the Departments of Brain and
    Cognitive Sciences at Rochester and the Department of Psychology at
    Harvard. The NIH fellowships are open only to US citizens or
    permanent residents. Applicants should send a letter describing
    their graduate training and research interests, a curriculum vitae,
    and arrange to have three letters of recommendation sent to:
    Professor Richard N. Aslin, Department of Brain and Cognitive
    Sciences, Meliora Hall, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY
    14627-0268. Review of applications will begin on February 15, 2000
    and continue until all of the positions are filled, with expected
    start dates ranging from June 30 to September 1, 2000. Learn more
    about the relevant departments, faculty, and training opportunities
    by visiting the University of Rochester web site at
