13 November: FYI -- postgraduate funding (Montreal, Canada)
Index of November 2017 | Index of year: 2017 | Full index
There are two openings for MA/PhD students, in my lab, in the Department of
Psychology at Concordia University, in Montreal, Canada.. The positions are
funded by grants from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of
Canada (NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council
(SSHRC). Funded projects include topics such as (1) The nature of semantic
composition, involving psycholinguistic, and neuroimaging (fMRI) studies of
sentence interpretation; (2) The nature of reference, at the interface between
linguistic and visual processes, using techniques that involve the monitoring
of eye movements in sentence processing with static and dynamic scenes; (3)
Linguistic/conceptual deficits in patients with aphasia or Alzheimer’s
disease. More details about projects, publications, and lab facilities can be
found in the lab website (http;//alcor.concordia.ca/~coglab/ or
http//psycholinguistics.weebly.com ).
The positions are for students with a background in cognitive psychology,
linguistics, or other cognitive science area. A BA or MA in Psychology is not
required for acceptance into the Psychology program (this is a change from
previous years). Although usually students would be enrolled in the Psychology
program, the Individualized Program in Cognitive Science is an alternative,
specially if a more interdisciplinary coursework path is desired. Students at
Concordia can also benefit from close proximity with the other three
universities in Montreal, where students can also take courses for credit. The
lab is also affiliated with a network of clinical settings (CRIR) which
facilitates access to special populations.
Opportunities for research within the ''Words in the World'' major SSHRC
Partnership Grant are also available—with focus on morphological and semantic
processes involved in word recognition and lexical access, in collaboration
with Gary Libben (Brock University) and Eva Kehayia (McGill University).
The Department of Psychology at Concordia University also guarantees a minimal
support package (from research grants, TA-ships, awards, etc.) to all students
during normal residency (usually 2 years for the MA, 3 for the PhD).
Applicants are also highly encouraged to apply for external funding. See more
details in the Department of Psychology page
(https://www.concordia.ca/artsci/psychology.html).
Potential applicants are encouraged to contact roberto.dealmeida@concordia.ca
prior to applying. Please do not send application materials with your inquiry.
All application materials should be uploaded to the Concordia platform (see
instructions in the main Psychology page).
