PhD Fellowships - Macquarie University, Sydney Australia

[Katherine Demuth]

Dear all - we have a number fellowships for potential MA/PhD students 
with strong experimental and quantiative background interested in 
various aspects of language acquisition.  The deadline is also somewhat 
flexible. Potential candidates interested in working on theoretical 
issues and/or clinical populations are both encouraged to apply.


*
Macquarie University*, *Department of Linguistics, Sydney, Australia*

*5 PhD fellowships*

*Project: Neural and behavioural evidence for children's learning of 
grammatical morphology*

**

*Deadline for applications: 31st August 2014*

The research is supervised by Katherine Demuth, ARC Laureate Fellow and 
CORE Professor in Linguistics and the Centre for Language Sciences 
(CLaS), where she is Director of the Child Language Lab (CLL) and a 
member of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Cognition and its Disorders (CCD).

The CLL is located in the Australian Hearing Hub with state-of the art 
EEG, MEG, infant speech perception, eye-tracking and language production 
research facilities. The group has extensive collaborative links with 
Audiology, Speech Pathology, the CCD, the National Acoustic Laboratories 
(NAL) and Hearing service providers, providing a dynamic, collaborative 
research environment.

The work is supported by a new Australian Research Council grant 
designed to better understand the nature of children's phonological and 
morphological representations, and how these develop between the ages of 
1-7. The project brings together researchers from a wide range of 
disciplines (EEG/MEG, eye-tracking, ultrasound, etc.) with the common 
purpose of addressing issues related to speech perception and production 
in typically developing monolingual and bilingual children, as well as 
children with hearing loss and specific language impairment.

*Candidates with a strong quantitative and experimental background are 
especially encouraged to apply.*
