POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP NICHD Training Program in Developmental Psychology, University of Chicago

Two 2-year post-doctoral appointments will be available beginning August and October, 2007. The program’s core faculty is in the Developmental area of the Psychology Department, and the program is further enriched by researchers from across the University with substantive interests in developmental issues. The training faculty focuses on three content areas of research: cognitive, language, and social development.

Our program has a strong tradition of collaborative and interdisciplinary research. Trainees will have the opportunity to engage in a variety of theoretical approaches and empirical techniques. For more information, please see our website: http://psychology.uchicago.edu/academics/doctoral/developmental/.

Applicants from underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply. Trainees must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
