Don't miss out on an authentic Maryland "crab
feast." Steamed Maryland blue crab is a signature dish in
Baltimore and throughout Maryland. A traditional feast includes
steamed crabs plus all of the trimmings, from corn on the cob to
ice-cold beers. Some feasts even feature Maryland fried chicken for
non-crabbers. During a crab feast, family-style tables are often laid
with brown paper or newspaper. Diners are provided with various
mallets and knives, but only tourists don a crab bib, so do what the
locals do and be sure to dress down for your crab feast! You can
even enjoy a crab feast cruise. Click here to

University of East Anglia
Postdoctoral Position - Crossmodal plasticity, language
and cognition
Closing Date: 12 noon on 18th September 2017.
Applications are invited for the post of Senior Research
Associate in the School of Psychology, University of East Anglia, to
work with Dr. Velia Cardin (deafbrainplasticity.wordpress.com). The aim
of the project is to understand the influence of early sensory
experience on the organisation of cognitive processes in the human
brain. To this aim, in this project we will use functional
neuroimaging techniques to investigate cortical plasticity as a
consequence of early or congenital deafness and language experience.
Collaborators in the project include Prof. Bencie Woll (University
College London), and Prof. Martin Eimer (Birkbeck University of
London).
The successful applicant will be involved in the design
and implementation of fMRI studies, data acquisition and analysis,
preparation of results for publication, and preparation of data for
preservation and sharing. They will be supported at all times to
further develop their career and skills, encouraging them to take the
initiative in development of research projects, present results to
specialist and non-specialist audiences, and acquire new
research-related and transferable skills, such as the knowledge of
British Sign Language.
Applicants should hold or expect shortly to hold a PhD
in Neuroscience, Psychology, Biomedicine, Computer Science or a related
discipline or equivalent qualification and be able to satisfy all the
essential criteria outlined in the person specification.
The post is available from November 2017 or as soon as
possible thereafter on a full-time, fixed term contract to 30 September
2020.

San Diego State University & University of
California, San Diego
The SDSU/UCSD joint doctoral program in Language and
Communicative Disorders is designed to educate a new generation of
scientists who are interested in applying research skills to the
disorders. Our interdisciplinary program, the only program of its
kind in California, provides training in normal (spoken and signed)
language, language disorders, multilingualism, and in the neural bases
of language learning, use, and loss. It is designed to educate a
new generation of scientists who are interested in applying
state-of-the-art research skills to the study of communicative
disorders. We are very proud of our program, students, and
faculty. Our doctoral program ranked fourth on the Faculty Scholarly
Productivity Index rankings compiled by Academic Analytics and released
by The Chronicle of Higher Education in 2007. The
National Research Council (NRC) ranked our doctoral program among the
top ten in the nation in their most recent rankings (2010). The
majority of our graduates hold university faculty positions or research
scientist positions in labs here in the US and abroad.
1. To provide doctoral training in the study of language
and communicative behavior with an interdisciplinary focus that integrates
state-of-the-art knowledge from the fields of communicative disorders,
cognitive science, neurosciences, psychology, and linguistics
represented by the expertise of core faculty from SDSU and UCSD.
2. To prepare professionals, educated in the interface
between behavioral and cognitive neuroscience methodologies, who will
provide critical leadership in research and health services.
3. To prepare Ph.D.-level scientists in the field of
language and communicative disorders to serve as faculty in university
programs and scientists in a variety of settings to carry out
much-needed research on the processes of language development,
disorders, assessment, and intervention.
4. To prepare researchers to carry out much-needed
research in communicative behavior and disorders in bilingualism.
ASHA CLINICAL CERTIFICATION:
Although this is a research Ph.D. program, SLHS offers a
separate graduate program in SLP. It may be possible to complete
a CFY or obtain academic and clinical training concurrently with doctoral
studies. Access to clinical training is not automatic nor is it
guaranteed.
In fall 2008 our program at SDSU moved into a new
clinical, research, and academic building with state-of-the-art
Speech-Language and Audiology clinics, high-tech labs, and great
instructional facilities. These resources, combined with the
outstanding facilities at UCSD, provide doctoral students with the best
possible training environment. Several different funding sources
are used to support doctoral students including program scholarships,
graduate assistantships, in-state and out-of-state fee support, and
faculty grants.
