Could I ask you to forward this to suitable interested candidates? Thanks in advance, Nivi The Psychology of Language Research Group Georg-Elias-Müller-Institut für Psychologie Georg-August University Göttingen invites applications for a PhD position (65% TV-L 13) The Psychology of Language Research Group at Georg-Elias-Müller-Institut für Psychologie is interested in examining the mechanisms underlying infants’ language acquisition and language processing. Researchers working within the group have varied interests including topics such as word segmentation and word learning in young children, differences between first and second language acquisition, the interaction between visual and social cues in language processing, the interface between orthographical and phonological processing. The advertised position is in the project “Cross-domain influences on early word and action learning” (Starting date: April 2019). The project examines the extent to which linguistic and non-linguistic information interact during early word and action learning. It is part of an interdisciplinary research group „Crossing the Borders: The Interplay of Language, Cognition, and the Brain in Early Human Development“ and is in collaboration with the research group of Prof. Birgit Elsner at the University of Potsdam. Candidates will hold a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Psychology (or a related discipline), have a strong research interest in cognitive and language development, as well as a very good statistical background and English language proficiency. Experience in experimental research with infants and young children, with eye-tracking and/or EEG-research, as well as some programming experience (e.g., Matlab or R) will be advantageous, but is not required. The position is available for 36 months. The University of Göttingen is an equal opportunities employer and places particular emphasis on fostering career opportunities for women.
