Postdoctoral Fellowship in Psychology and Economics, Chicago (USA)

The Communication and Learning Lab is accepting applications for a postdoctoral fellowship starting summer or fall of 2018. The fellowship is part of an interdisciplinary research project by Drs. Daniel Yurovsky (Psychology) and Elliot Lipnowski (Economics) to develop a game theoretic framework for modeling children’s language acquisition. The postdoctoral fellow will be a primary contributor to the development of mathematical and computational models, and also in the empirical studies that test them. Fellows will also be expected and encouraged to develop their own independent research in related areas, and to engage with the broader language and statistical modeling communities at UChicago.
