Research Associate position in Psycholinguistics (Aphasia)
I am looking for a research associate who can design and conduct psycholinguistic experiments on Hindi speakers with Aphasia, a language disorder. The candidate should have a strong prior training in experiment design, psycholinguistics, and basic programming.
Who can apply?
Candidates with a master's degree in cognitive science/linguistics can apply! The preference will be given to those who have prior training in psycholinguistics or clinical experiments, basically, those who can design and conduct language comprehension and production experiments on Aphasia. If you are interested in developing diagnostic tools for Aphasia in Indian languages, I will encourage you to consider this opportunity.

About me and our lab:
My name is Himanshu Yadav. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Cognitive Science at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India. I lead the Kanpur Language Processing (KaLP) lab.
At KaLP lab, we study cognitive processes that underlie language comprehension and production in humans. We are interested in two broad questions: (1) How is language processed in the mind, and how does it interact with other cognitive processes such as working memory and attention? (2) How does language as a complex adaptive system evolve in its quantitative distribution of structural preferences? We use computational modeling, psycholinguistic experimentation, and crosslinguistic corpora analysis to investigate these questions. For a detailed description of the projects in our lab, see the project page: https://sites.google.com/view/language-processing-kanpur/projects.
