Lab Name: Language and Literacy Laboratory
Supervisor Name: IouLia Kovelman
Position Title: Postdoctoral Fellow
Description:
We are looking for postdoctoral researchers with expertise in language, computational modeling, or neuroimaging. Our research focuses on bilingual language, literacy, and brain development.
For computational modeling, we seek candidates skilled at using large-language models to analyze data in English and other languages.
For neuroimaging, we are looking for candidates with expertise in fNIRS/fMRI or MEG/EEG. Experience in language or bilingualism is a plus.
Our team of multiple experts in language and neuroscience, led by Drs. Ioulia Kovelman, is currently based at the University of Michigan. PI Kovelman will move to UT Dallas in summer 2026 to access larger bilingual populations and neuroimaging resources, including anatomically localized MEG.
We welcome applications from candidates with backgrounds in psychology, neurolinguistics, computational modeling, bilingualism, neuroscience, education, or related fields. This project offers a salary aligned with NIH standards.
The start date and location are flexible. Please contact kovelman@umich.edu with CV, sample publications, and a letter of interest that includes names and contact info for 2-3 references.
