Research Staff Positions: Interactional Foundations of Language

In connection with the ERC Advanced Grant to Stephen Levinson, a
research staff position is currently available in the general field of
the study of human communication interaction.

The research, charting new territory, will have two foci: (i)
interactional timing and synchronization, and (ii) the process of
action and speech act recognition.

We are now looking for a researcher who can address either or both of
these foci from the following approach:

   Developmental studies of interaction with pre-school aged and
school aged children using experimental and observational techniques,
and/or a cross cultural approach.

The position will be for two years in the first instance, renewable
for up to four years. A pure research position, with access to all the
requisite lab facilities (baby-lab, eye-tracking, cognitive
neuroimaging, etc.), they offer excellent opportunities to learn new
techniques and build an outstanding vita. The Max Planck Society is an
equal opportunity employer. The business of the institute is conducted
in English and candidates should have excellent written and spoken
command of this language; command of Dutch would be advantageous for
experimental work.

Required/Desired skills

Experience conducting developmental studies, training in linguistics,
affinity with pre-school and school aged children, preferably
interested in child discourse.

Applicants are advised to explore the MPI for Psycholinguistics
website and particularly the IFL project.

Applications should include:

    curriculum vitae
    a clear statement of personal research goals
    a description of special research skills appropriate to the above
project
    attached sample publications
    the names of three referees

Applications will be considered on an on-going basis until the
positions are filled.
