Open Postdoctoral position, faculty mentor Meg Cychosz

My team is recruiting a postdoctoral scholar to join our interdisciplinary group, housed in Stanford Linguistics. The applicant will lead independent projects studying infant and child speech/language development, broadly construed, including experimental and computational approaches to understand neural and environmental predictors of language development. The scholar will be able to develop their own ideas as well as build upon our ongoing work. Current projects span diverse populations (cross-cultural work, children who are deaf/hard-of-hearing) and data collection settings (preschools, homes) using a variety of methods (child-centered wearables, deep learning, fNIRS, eyetracking). 

The postdoc will primarily be mentored by Meg Cychosz (Linguistics), but will have ample opportunity and flexibility to establish collaborations with other groups and PIs we collaborate with across campus in psychology, computer science, neuroscience, and the Stanford Graduate School of Education (e.g. Monica Ellwood-Lowe, Dan Jurafsky, Mike Frank). The applicant will join a supportive and collaborative lab environment and have the opportunity to work with other postdocs, graduate students, research staff, clinicians, and undergraduates.
