Within my research group, it is my top priority to make sure everyone is welcomed, valued, and provided with opportunities to grow.
Students who work with me come from East Asian Languages and Cultures (EALC), Linguistics, Second Language Studies, Psychology, and Cognitive Science. If you plan to focus on experimental Chinese linguistics, consider applying to the PhD in , EALC and indicate that you are interested in studying under my direction. If you are interested in sentence processing and psycholinguistics within cognitive science, general linguistics or computational linguistics, you can apply to the PhD Program in Cognitive Science or the Department of Linguistics and indicate that you wish to work with me. I also welcome students from any other academic backgrounds to reach out to me if you are interested in how language interfaces with the discipline you take interest in.
Within the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures (EALC) at Indiana University, I welcome PhD students (https://ealc.indiana.edu/graduate/phd.html) who have background in linguistics, cognitive sciences, psychology, or East Asian studies, and are interested in using experimental and corpus methods to study the psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, and the acquisition of East Asian languages. I direct the Language and Cognition Lab (https://lacl.sitehost.iu.edu), where students have access to an Eyelink eye-tracker and an EEG lab, in addition to other computation equipment for behavioral measures.
Graduate students in EALC build their academic foundation through courses offered in EALC, General/Computational Linguistics, Psychology, Cognitive Science, and Second Language Studies at Indiana University. Admitted students will join the vibrant community of language scientists at Indiana University, made of faculty and students from various departments on campus. Interested applicants should contact Prof. Charles Lin (chiclin@indiana.edu) for further information.
The deadline for both domestic and international applications is December 15, 2023. Admission information: https://ealc.indiana.edu/graduate/admissions/index.html
We usually offer competitive five-year funding packages, which include a combination of PhD fellowships and teaching assistantships. These packages are awarded to the top PhD applicants on a competitive basis. The funding typically includes tuition remissions, a monthly stipend, and health insurance. Students receive additional academic training through being Associate Instructors of Chinese/Japanese language courses or content courses.
