Development Lab
To: <cogdevsoc@lists.cogdevsoc.org>


The Yale Cognition and Development Lab (https://cogdevlab.yale.edu) is
accepting applications for postdoctoral fellowship, starting in July or
August 2019.  The fellowship will be part of a research project concerned
with the role of mechanistic explanations in children’s understanding of
science and technology. The postdoctoral fellow will participate in every
aspect of the research program, working with Drs. Frank Keil and Kristi
Lockhart and all other members of the lab group. Candidates should be
deeply engaged in questions concerning how children develop causal
understandings of the world around them. Preference will be given to
applicants with strong graduate backgrounds in cognition and education and
strong undergraduate backgrounds in the natural sciences or engineering.
Research experience with elementary school age children is also desirable,
but not required. Only candidates who have obtained a Ph.D. or Ed.D. degree
in cognitive development, science education, adult cognition, cognitive
science or a related field will be considered. Excellent research writing
and data analytic skills are expected. We ask for a two-year commitment
with possibility of renewal for a third year.

TO APPLY: Please submit a CV, cover letter with statement of research
interests (1-2 pages) describing how those interests fit with the
fellowship, email contact information for three references, and up to three
publications or in press manuscripts that provide the clearest indications
of your research contributions to date. Reference letters will be requested
from short-listed applicants. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling
basis, with the aim of concluding this search as soon as an exceptional
candidate has been found.

Please send application materials as a single PDF document to
frank.keil@yale.edu with the subject line:   cogdevlabpostdoc19 . Other
inquiries may be directed to Frank Keil at frank.keil@yale.edu.
