Applicants with interests in speech and/or auditory perception are encouraged to visit www.psy.cmu.edu/~lholt/ or contact Lori Holt (lholt(at)andrew.cmu.edu). Carnegie Mellon is an outstanding intellectual environment for cognitive and cognitive neuroscience research. The nearby University of Pittsburgh adds to the diversity of the academic environment, as does the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition (www.cnbc.cmu.edu) a joint research center between CMU and Pitt. Carnegie Mellon is located in Pittsburgh, PA. The living environment in Pittsburgh is outstanding. Residents can take advantage of urban amenities and the surrounding countryside. Nestled in hills and rivers, Pittsburgh is a geographically attractive city with a low population density. It has evolved from the industrial base of the early 20th century to today's technologically and educationally based economy. The air is clean, the schools are good, and there is an active and varied cultural life. Pittsburgh has its own ballet, opera, symphony, performing artists and lecture series, theater companies, public television station, art museum, music and arts festivals, etc. For sports fans there are the Pirates, the Steelers, and the Penguins. Runners can jog on forest trails in nearby parks; bicycle fans have a nearby web of trails that run along old rail beds from West of the City to Washington, D.C.
