Post Doctoral and RA positions, Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute
The Language and Aphasia Lab of MRRI (www.mrri.org) invites applications
for expected openings at the postdoctoral and RA levels, starting Summer/Fall
2013. Under the direction of Dr. Myrna
Schwartz, our lab conducts NIH-funded research on language processing in
typical speakers and individuals with aphasia.
We seek to advance understanding of how words are learned and retrieved
in speech, how these processes are affected by stroke, and how word production
deficits can be ameliorated by treatment. MRRI and MossRehab, part of the Einstein Healthcare Network, are
located in Philadelphia and Elkins Park, PA.
We offer our employees unparalleled career opportunities including
competitive compensation, attractive benefits plan including
medical/dental/vision coverage, generous vacation time, and tuition
reimbursement. EOE
Postdoctoral Position
Announcing a 2-year post-doctoral position on Dr. Schwartz’s
long-running RO1 on aphasia, which supports multi-site collaborations with
computational psycholinguist, Gary S. Dell, and behavioral neurologist, H.
Branch Coslett. In the current grant
cycle, we are exploring how normal and aphasic word production is influenced by
cognitive learning, with the aim of enhancing neural plasticity and treatment
outcomes. The postdoctoral fellow will
be expected to contribute to ongoing projects and develop new lines of research
related to this general theme.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. in cognitive ps...
