Post-doctoral research position in the Language & Cognitive Dynamics Lab
TheLanguage& Cognitive Dynamics Lab is hiring a post-doctoral research fellow to start in 2017. Research in the lab focuses on spoken language processing and semantic memory in typical and atypical speakers. Current research projects investigate: (1) The processing and representation of semantic knowledge, particularly knowledge of object features and categories, and the events or situations in which they participate. (2) The organization of the spoken language system by mapping the relationships between stroke lesion location and behavioral deficits.Research methods include:behavioral and eye-tracking experimentslesio...
