Description

Dr. Anne Maass is hiring a Post-Doctoral Associate to work on a range of projects focused on the link between language and social cognition. This includes, among others, the question on how grammatical features of different languages guide socio-cognitive processes, how a speaker’s vocal characteristics affect the interpretation of an utterance (for instance, changes in meaning when a sentence is pronounced by a gay/lesbian vs. straight sounding speaker), or other lines of research on the language-cognition link that the Post-Doctoral Associate may want to pursue. The Post-Doctoral Associate will join Dr. Anne Maass’ Lab at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD).

The Post-Doctoral Associate is expected to start working on the project in Fall 2022 semester. The position is for two years and is renewable based on performance and availability of funds. The terms of employment are highly competitive and will include housing and travel subsidies.

Review of applications will begin on September 15, 2022 and will continue until the position is filled. Interviews will be conducted via Zoom.
