Post-Doctoral Fellows in Reading Research

描述(由申请人提供)：哈斯金斯实验室有关阅读习得和阅读障碍的博士后项目将提供研究培训、支持性研究环境，以及在附属大学进行高级课程学习的机会。研究机会的范围，研究参与的性质，以及课程的选择(如果有的话)将为每个研究员量身定做。在加入该计划后，研究员将建立一个非正式的咨询委员会，为研究员的研究计划和学习过程提供指导和支持。研究员最初可以选择参加实验室正在进行的研究项目；但是，他们也可以从事自己的项目。博士后研究员将被鼓励参加哈斯金斯大学几乎每周举行的定期研究座谈会。讲座的嘉宾包括来自世界各地的演讲者以及哈斯金斯大学的研究人员。在过去，关于语言和识字的广泛的主题在座谈会上被讨论过，包括阅读的神经心理学和遗传学研究，干预研究，言语知觉和产生的研究，句法发展的调查，等等。虽然参加课程不是博士后培训的中心目标，但个人可能希望拓宽或深化与其研究和专业目标相关的特定领域的专业知识。耶鲁大学、康涅狄格大学和罗德岛大学提供课程选择。培训为期两年，我们预计在四年内每年接收两名博士后研究员参加该项目。相关性：读写能力对个人在社会中取得成功的机会至关重要。我们正在将以科学为基础的阅读研究成果应用于课堂教学。我们的计划是培训科学家，通过增强相关科学知识和帮助将知识落实到课堂上来帮助实现这一目标。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The postdoctoral program in reading acquisition and reading disabilities at Haskins Laboratories will provide research training, a supportive research environment, and opportunities for advanced coursework at affiliated universities. The range of research opportunities, the nature of the research involvement, and the choice of coursework (if any) will be tailored for each fellow. On entry into the program, fellows will establish an informal advisory committee that will provide guidance and support for the fellow's research plans and course of study. Fellows may initially choose to participate in an ongoing research project at the Laboratories; however, they may instead undertake their own project. Postdoctoral fellows will be encouraged to attend the regular research colloquia at Haskins that take place nearly every week. The lectures feature speakers from around the world as well as researchers on the staff at Haskins. In the past, a broad array of topics on language and literacy has been addressed in the colloquia including neuropsychological and genetic studies of reading, intervention research, studies of speech perception and production, investigations of syntactic development, and much more. Although taking courses is not the central aim of the postdoctoral training, individuals may wish to broaden or deepen their expertise in specific areas relevant to their research and professional goals. Course options are available at Yale University, University of Connecticut and University of Rhode Island. The duration of the training will be two years, and we expect to accept two post doctoral fellows into the program in each of four years. Relevance: the abilities to read and write are critical to individuals' chances for success in our society. We are bringing to bear findings of scientifically based reading research to class room instruction. Our plan is to train scientists to assist in this goal by enhancing relevant scientific knowledge and by helping to implement the knowledge in the classroom.
