TrainingApply to be a CLS postdocThe CLS training grant from the NIH (2004-2009) provides support for 5 pre-doctoral fellows and 3 postdoctoral fellows each year. Postdoctoral fellows have typically received their Ph.D. in Linguistics, Psychology, or Computer Science and wish to broaden their training in other aspects of the language sciences. Pre-doctoral fellows have typically been members of the Ph.D. programs in Brain and Cognitive Sciences and in Computer Science. A CLS graduate student may earn the doctoral degree in a single discipline, or may pursue an interdepartmental, joint Ph.D. program, with a major and a minor from two of these fields: Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Computer Science, Linguistics, and Philosophy. CLS has a special fund to support graduate students working toward a joint degree that includes Linguistics. Coursework is provided by faculty in their home departments (see Related Departments). |
