The Marica De Vincenzi Foundation is inviting applications for its post-doctoral fellowship! The fellowship offers up to 2 years of post-doctoral support abroad for Italian psycholinguists. Spread the word! Deadline is 3/10 - see info here: nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

Really big announcement! See @wtimkey.bsky.social's thread for the details on an exciting new preprint from the NYU-UMass Syntactic Ambiguity Processing group. It is the culmination of the team's research efforts over these last couple of years, and we're really happy with it.

University of South Carolina has *7* tenure-track faculty positions in Neurobiology of Language: tinyurl.com/USC-Faculty-... Positions in COMD, Psych, Linguistics, School of Medicine. @snlmtg.bsky.social #SNL2025, we will have a booth. w/@rutvikdesai.bsky.social @imb-uofsc.bsky.social

A proposed new rule would limit international students on F1 or J1 visas to stays in the US of no longer than 4 years. This effectively means that intl. students will no longer come to graduate school here (time to PhD is 5-6 years). You can comment here: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

Check out Özge's preprint! Anaphors like reflexives have been studied a TON. Why? They're a useful model system for studying how linguistic information is organized in WM, because they appear to be subject to relational syntactic constraints on their interpretation. In her research...

Bumping this call for folks interested in work at the AI-psycholing interface!

Congratulations are in order for @tallinzen.bsky.social as well! We’re excited and humbled, and grateful that we get to continue collaborating with a wonderful group of students and scholars. The support of the NSF goes a long way in supporting the next generation of scientists.

I'm offering a 3-year PhD position with benefits (1-year extension possible). Research topic open but broadly in incremental sentence comprehension. If you're into eye-tracking, even better! No teaching until Summer 2027, light teaching after that (English). Official ad soon. Please share 🙏

If you haven't been looking recently at the Open Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science (oecs.mit.edu), here's your reminder that we are a free, open access resource for learning about the science of mind. Today we are launching our new Thematic Collections to organize our growing set of articles!

Excited to share the new OECS article on 'Sentence Processing' written by Matt Wagers and myself! It's humbling to be included in the OECS, we hope you enjoy :) oecs.mit.edu/pub/mn7mjhx9...

Congratulations to Dr. Nigel Flower @nigelflower.bsky.social for the successful defense of his dissertation “Combinatorics at-a-glance: On the spatiotemporal dynamics of temporally unstructured language”!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

A bit late but since I really like this paper, a bit of self-advertising! I am presenting at CMCL today work showing that metrics measuring how a Minimalist Grammar parser modulates memory usage can help us model Self-paced reading data for SRC/ORC contrasts: aclanthology.org/2025.cmcl-1.5/

My turn for an #HSP2025 thread, since I will be traveling soon! I'll be there with two posters, and I so am excited to see all my favorite psycholinguists (aside from the great science XD)! 🐦🐦🐦
