[Melissa Troyer]

Dear EEG community,



Please see the announcement below for Ph.D. positions that are available in
*Psychology* or *Neuroscience* at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. I am
recruiting 1-2 students to join the Language, Aging, & Knowledge
Electrophysiology lab (LAKELab), which is a part of the Psychological and
Brain Sciences program in the Psychology department. Students would also
have the option of doing a Ph.D. through the Interdisciplinary Program in
Neuroscience.



Interested students are welcome to reach out over email (
melissa.troyer at unlv.edu). Thank you in advance for sharing this information
with your students. (My apologies for cross-posting.)



Best,



Melissa Troyer

*The Language, Aging, and Knowledge Electrophysiology (LAKE) lab* of *Melissa
Troyer, Ph.D.*, at the University of Nevada Las Vegas invites applications
for Ph.D. positions in *Psychology* or *Neuroscience*, starting in Fall
2024.

Troyer’s research investigates how people make use of their existing
knowledge and experiences to anticipate, make sense of, and learn from
language in real time. A particular focus is on how knowledge, language,
and learning change across the adult lifespan. To study these topics,
Troyer uses cognitive electrophysiology (EEG/ERP) and behavioral measures.
For more information, please see the LAKE lab website

The lab is looking for applicants with a bachelor’s or master’s degree in
Psychology, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, Linguistics, or other related
fields (e.g., Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences; Learning Sciences;
Education). Applicants should have excellent communication skills and a
strong demonstrated interest in topics related to the research focus of the
lab. Preferred skills and experiences include a background in experimental
research, computer programming, and/or EEG/ERP methods.



Applicants have the choice between applying for doctoral work in the
*Psychological
and Brain Sciences Ph.D Program* within the *Psychology *department (
