The Georgetown University Neuroscience of Language Training Program (that Dr. Riesenhuber’s lab is a member of) is seeking outstanding postdoctoral fellows who wish to become the future leaders of our field. We aim to develop well-rounded scientists who have a broad perspective on basic and clinical neuroscience of language research, along with the skills and track-record to succeed in their chosen career path.
We offer a rich training environment in the nation’s capital where fellows conduct innovative research under the guidance of 18 faculty members studying basic and clinical neuroscience of language, along with sensory, motor, and cognitive systems as they pertain to language and communication. Fellows can work with a single faculty member or across multiple labs, including partner labs at Children’s National Hospital and the George Washington University.
Fellows can also participate in clinical experiences, community engagement activities, professional development training, journal clubs, and seminars to enrich their training.
Appointments are funded at NIH NRSA stipend rates for two years, assuming fellows remain in good standing after the first year. Fellows also receive additional funds for training-related expenses, such as workshops, courses, conference travel, computers, peripherals, etc.
Eligibility: U.S. citizens or permanent residents who currently hold a doctoral degree or will have met all doctoral program requirements before enrolling are eligible. Individuals with doctoral degrees from any relevant field (Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, Linguistics, Psychology, Communication Science and Disorders, etc.) are encouraged to apply.
Admissions are rolling so applicants should inquire early about positions. Individuals from groups recognized to be underrepresented in the sciences are encouraged to apply.
Contact peter.turkeltaub@georgetown.edu with any questions about the program and/or Dr. Riesenhuber at mr287@georgetown.edu about possible suitable projects in his lab.
