The Dept. of Linguistics and Languages at Michigan State University
is pleased to announce 2 Graduate Assistant positions in Cognitive
Science for the academic year 2002-2003. Students must be accepted
into both Ph.D. program in Linguistics and the Graduate
Specialization in Cognitive Science. Funding is available for 4

The Cognitive Science program has also recently received an

animals, and intelligent machines. Students in Linguistics are also
encouraged to apply to the IGERT program.

We invite applications from interested graduate students in

related fields who would like to join an interdisciplinary group of
cognitive scientists to work of issues related to language.
