We seek researchers whose work substantially combines neuroscience and cognitive science. Candidates should identify two faculty sponsors, whose expertise represents two of the three fields of cognition, computation, and neuroscience. The application consists of a CV, a brief (< 2 pages) summary of the proposed research, and three letters of recommendation. Send them to the Postdoc Selection Committee, McDonnell-Pew Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at MIT, E25-406, Cambridge, MA 02139. The deadline is February 1, 1996, for one-year fellowships beginning July 1, 1996 or later. Fellowships may be renewed for a second year, following a competitive review. Questions about the program may be sent to the Director, Professor Steven Pinker, steve(a)psyche.mit.edu. Questions about the fellowships may be sent to Judith Rauchwarger, judithr(a)wccf.mit.edu, E25-406, MIT, Cambridge, MA 02139. Copies of the brochure of the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, MIT, may be obtained from Jan Ellertsen, ellertsen(a)wccf.mit.edu, same postal address.
