Infant Mind and Cognition Lab, Yale University
The Infant Mind and Cognition Lab at Yale University is looking for a postdoctoral researcher interested in the origin and development of high-level cognition. Research topics that are central to the lab include, among others, logical concepts, compositionality and symbolic structures in preverbal cognition and early language acquisition; and the interface between perception, language, and thought.
The candidate will have the opportunity to conduct research with infants, young children, and adults. Potential research directions are constrained only by shared interests. A strong record in developmental psychology is welcome. We are also open to other backgrounds that can complement the lab’s research, including but not limited to linguistics, philosophy, comparative cognition, and developmental neuroscience.
Funding is available for two years with the possibility of extension through fellowships and grants. The base salary is $68,000 with benefits (listed here).
If interested, please email me (nicolo.cesana-arlotti@yale.edu) your CV, cover letter, and contacts for three references. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis.
