These fellowships are of two kinds: (1) traditional NIH-sponsored positions for citizens of the U.S. and (2) International Visiting Fellowships for non-U.S. citizens. The positions carry competitive stipends, health benefits, and the like; each may extend to three years; and appointments may be made at any time of the year. I write seeking candidates for these post-doctoral fellowships. Nominees must have completed the Ph.D. before appointment. Research ongoing in the CFRS includes: perceptual, cognitive, communicative, emotional, and social development in infancy and early childhood in a cross- cultural context, children's health and hospitalization, and parenting. If you are aware of individuals whose interests and skills are in one of these areas, and who would be interested in one of these positions, please ask them to send a Curriculum Vitae, brief statement of RESEARCH interests, copies of reprints or preprints, as well as three letters of recommendation to me here at the NICHD. I very much appreciate any help you can offer. Marc H.

The research covers aspects of spoken language comprehension ranging from acoustic-phonetic analysis and word recognition to syntactic parsing and discourse interpretation. Candidates will be expected to contribute at all levels to the conduct and development of research in these areas. The Research Assistant positions can be either full-time or part-time. Preferred candidates will have appropriate experience in experimental psychology, linguistics, laboratory computing or related disciplines. The positions are available from October 1 1990, and will run until December 1994. Salaries on scale 1B or 1A within the range #13166 - #19932 p.a. inclusive of London weighting, depending on age and experience. Applications, in the form of three copies of a recent cv, should be sent to Dr L.K. Tyler, Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EB (Tel: 0223-333586; e-mail: LKT10@uk.ac.cam.phx) by May 30 1990. ---------------------------------------------------------------- TWO RESEARCH ASSOCIATE POSITIONS Unification based models of lexical access and incremental interpretation Applications are invited for two 3 year Research Associate positions to work on a project funded by the Joint Research Councils Cognitive Science Initiative. The aim of the project is to combine psycholinguistic and computational techniques in modelling the processes of lexical access, parsing and incremental interpretation in spoken language understanding. We need one person with a background in psycholinguistics (and preferably with experience in computational techniques as well) to assist in the development of computationally based psychological models and in the design and conduct of experimental studies. This post will be held at Birkbeck College, University of London (where William Marslen-Wilson and Lorraine Tyler are moving in October 1990). The other position is suitable for someone with a background in computational linguistics or artificial intelligence and will involve the design and implementation of computational systems exemplifying or supporting psychological models. This position will be based at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. Appointments will be made on the RA1A scale (as of 1/5/1990) between #11390 and #15444; the Birkbeck position will also receive #1767 London weighting. It is hoped to begin the project in October 1990. For further details contact any of the following: Dr W.

The department is an interdisciplinary unit, including psychologists, sociologists and anthropologists. The graduate studies in the organizational field are structured through two specialized programs, one in organizational psychology, leading towards an MA in Psychology and the other in organizational sociology, leading towards a masters degree in Sociology. Since the teaching language at BGU is Hebrew, we are looking for either candidates who plan to make alyia to Israel or for Israeli psychologists who look for an opportunity to return to Israel. We are willing to consider both senior and experienced candidates and doctoral students in their final stages of study. If you know of such candidates, or of addresses where our inquiry can be forwarded to, please inform them (or me). Please send all questions information or inquiries to Dr. Ran Chermesh, CHERMESH@BGUVM.BITNET, or by standard mail to the following address: Dr. Ran Chermesh, Behavioral Sciences Dept., Ben-Gurion University, PO Box 653, Beer-Sheva 84105, Israel.

Seven new branches have been developed: Basic Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences Research Branch; Basic Prevention and Behavioral Medicine Research Branch; Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience Research Branch; Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience Branch; Personality and Social Processes Research Branch; and Psychopharmacology Research Branch. Regarding these changes, NIMH Director Lewis Judd in his report to the National Advisory Mental Health Council said, "This structure reaffirms a commitment to existing areas of research while allowing the extension of support to newly established research areas which hold particular significance for the study of brain and behavior. There is in hand an ambitious agenda of ongoing and planned activities designed to open new opportunities for the field and ultimately to provide answers for the most difficult questions in mental health and mental illness." The APA Science Directorate is in contact with NIMH, offering assistance in getting the word out to psychologists about the reorganization. Psychologists are encouraged to pursue job opportunities with the Institute, as the NIMH reorganization has created openings in a number of important positions in the Division of Basic Brain and Behavioral Sciences. Vacancies are at the branch and program level. Among other qualifications, applicants for branch chief positions must have significant research experience and interest in extramural research management. The grade of Branch Chief positions is at the GM-15 level, with a salary range of $59,216 to $78,200 per year. Program level position applicants must be recognized authorities in their field and have an interest in managing a specific research support program. The grades of these positions are at the GS-13/14 level, with a salary range of $42,601 to $72,954 per year. For more information, contact Stephen Koslow, Acting Director of the Division of Basic Brain and Behavioral Sciences, 11-103 Parklawn Building, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20857. Interested applicants should submit an SF-171 (Application for Federal Employment) with a current curriculum vitae and bibliography after obtaining more information about specific jobs to which to apply. Submit the SF-171 to : Ms. Louise Turner, Personnel Operations, NIMH, Room 15C12, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20857, (301) 443-5407.
