We are accepting applications for a Postdoctoral Associate in language development, focusing on the neural and cognitive underpinnings of word learning in infants who are blind, deaf with cochlear implants, and typically-developing. Studies will employ ERPs to investigate brain activations and mechanisms underlying the semantic and phonetic processing, as a function of age and sensory experience. Desirable candidates will have background in language and/or cognitive research, expertise in ERP methods with young children, and strong programming/analysis skills. This co-mentored position offers excellent opportunities for gaining extensive expertise in developmental/cognitive psychology, language science, and cognitive neuroscience. 

To apply, upload a cover letter, CV, and contact information for three references through Academic Jobs Online. Only applicants that have applied through Academic Jobs Online will be reviewed. If you are not able to upload your application materials or if letter writers would prefer to upload their letters directly, please complete your application and email those materials to Meghann Koffi at meghann.koffi@duke.edu to be uploaded manually. 

Applicants will be considered on a rolling basis; preferred start date is early summer 2022.
