Post-Doctoral fellowships in Cognitive Science at Rutgers NB
The Rutgers Center for Cognitive Science (RuCCS) announces the availability of
a number of post-doctoral fellowships, some funded through the NIMH National
Research Service Award
program and some funded by Rutgers University. The fellowships are for research
in vision, psycholinguistics and cognition. Preference will be give to
applicants whose background fits with the
areas of specialization of the Center (see Research Programs) and who wish to
work with one or another of the current faculty affiliated with the Center who
would act as their sponsor for the term
of the fellowship. Selection of fellows will be done by the Cognitive Science
Certificate Committee on the basis of quality, interest and qualifications to
work in the areas in which RuCCS faculty
specialize. Fellowships are initially awarded for a period of one year and are
renewable. The value of the fellowship will depend on seniority and begins at
$28,260/year for 2001, with some
modest travel/research allowances.
Fellows appointed to the Center under this program will have responsibility
to: (a) Develop a program of training for themselves, under the guidance of
their RuCCS faculty sponsor, (b) carry out
active research in conjunction with one of the laboratories or research programs
at RuCCS or in related departments, and (c) communicate their work and their
knowledge to the local group through
seminars and graduate student advising.
The VISION RESEARCH aspect of the Fellowship program includes a large number
of active vision laboratories at Rutgers, New Brunswick (see the labs directly
associated with RuCCS) and
involves members of the departments of psychology, computer science, biomedical
engineering, the School of Library and Information Science, the Laboratory of
Vision Research, the Human
Computer Interaction Group and CAIP (a New Jersey Technology Center). The
"Human and Machine Vision" group is a group of researchers who sponsor a regular
series of talks and seminars by
visiting researchers. New Brunswick, NJ is close to New York City and the
geographical area includes a large concentration of academic and industrial
research laboratories carrying out research
on vision, with which we have had collaborative relations. The personnel and
facilities for vision and vision-related research at Rutgers are world class.
The LANGUAGE RESEARCH aspect of the Fellowship program, involves members of
the departments of linguistics, psychology, computer science, philosophy. Active
research includes
linguistic analysis in phonology, syntax and semantics, computational
linguistics, psycholinguistic study of sentence processing, language
learnability and acquisition, and the development of
language-based human/computer interfaces.
The broader COGNITION program brings together psychologists, linguists and
philosophers who work on the nature of concepts, cognitive development, the
relationship between language and
thought, decision-making, as well as more applied and outreach aspects of
cognitive science (digital libraries, interface design, scientific literacy). A
particular cross-area focus is on the nature of
perceptual OBJECTS, including object-centered attention and the development of
the object concept in infants. The faculty often offer joint seminars. In
addition, RuCCS hosts various
interdisciplinary workshops and seminars on topics of major interest to scholars
of cognition. An Object Group meets regularly at Rutgers and jointly with other
participating universities (including
Princeton and NYU).
Applications should be submitted by March 30, although late applications may
be considered as well. Fellowships may be held beginning July 1 or Sept 1,
2001. For more information write to the
program director by clicking here: email to program. If you are interested in
applying for these fellowships you should indicate your interest using the
on-line Notice of Application form at
Pre-application notification.
