<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Indiana University – Bloomington IN 47405 USA</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">We invite applications for a post-doctoral position, working with Professors Linda Smith and Chen Yu on projects devoted to understanding the
visual and sensory-motor components of early word learning in infants and children. The projects are organized around two large data sets, about 6 hours of in-home head camera video from 100 infants aged 1 month to 24 months and dual participant (parent-infant)
data streams of head-camera, head-mounted eye-tracking, motion (head and hands) and audio from 100 toddlers and their parents (12 to 30 months of age) as they interact together with objects. This data set also includes measures of vocabulary and object name
learning. The post-doctoral fellow is expected to take a lead role in defining conceptual questions, in data analysis, in designing new data collection, and in writing papers for publication. The fellow is expected to participate as a full partner in the
research and in the intellectual life in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences and the Program in Cognitive Science. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Individuals with prior training in sensory-motor, attention, visual or language development, or individuals with training in computer vision
would be excellent for this position. Good computational and data analysis skills, or an eagerness to learn, are essential. Familiarity with eye tracking methods is beneficial but not required.</span></p>
