Ph.D. Student Position in Multisensory Cognition Lab

I am seeking Ph.D. students to collaborate on research investigating
the development of humans’ concepts of number and objects across
different senses. Research in our Multisensory Cognition Lab
currently addresses such questions as:



1) Do infants and young children represent abstract concepts such as
number?

2) Do number and object representations in children and adults extend
across different senses?

3) Can we enhance nonverbal attention, learning, and memory in
domains such as numerical cognition by providing redundant
information through multiple senses?



In addition, I anticipate involving students in two newer lines of
research that investigate possible multisensory attentional and
metacognitive benefits from playing videogames and ask about
perception of multisensory objects across space and time.




Students would be enrolled in the Experimental and Applied
Psychological Science program through the Department of Psychology at
Utah State University, located in a spectacular mountain setting.
Students collaborating on these projects will be supported by
research and teaching assistantships. Because our lab is relatively
new and still growing, there will likely be ample opportunities for
ownership of projects, close collaboration with the P.I., conference
presentations, and journal article authorship. Openings in my lab
are available for Fall 2008.

If you are interested, please contact me as soon as possible by e-
mail at kerry.jordan [ à ] usu.edu. Information about the graduate program
at Utah State University is available at http://www.usu.edu/

I would love to hear about the following when you contact me:

* Your relevant research experiences


* Your technical knowledge (experience with programming and
statistics)
* Your CV
* The names, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers of 3 academic
references.
