The Language Processing Lab at the University of Arkansas is recruiting a PhD student to start in the fall of 2026. Our lab examines the basic cognitive processes involved in understanding written text, mostly fiction while being read by skilled adult readers, with an emphasis on reference comprehension, inferences, and negation, among other topics. We use multiple behavioral methods, including priming tasks, reaction time, self-paced reading, and eye-tracking. The University of Arkansas PhD program has a growing group of cognitive psychologists, with several labs in the department investigating memory, creativity, and other aspects of cognition. Funding is through teaching and research assistantships. The university also has generous fellowships available for competitive applicants.
