<span style="font-family: "Source Sans Pro", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none;">In collaboration with a team from the NCCR Work Package “Events” and under the supervision of Professor Balthasar Bickel,
the postdoc will lead and develop a series of studies using chiefly experimental methods to investigate language processing and planning and the wider cognitive background of this in a diverse set of languages, drawing chiefly on the NCCR’s existing network
of collaborations worldwide. </span></p>

<span style="font-family: "Source Sans Pro", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none;">Successful candidates will be thoroughly familiar with experimental methods and statistical data analysis in language science.
They are trained in psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, and/or linguistics and are keen on engaging with evolutionary questions. Experience with cross-cultural fieldwork is an additional strong asset.</span></p>
