Description:

The 'Language Acquisition' Junior Research Group at the Georg-Elias-
Müller Institute for Psychology, Georg-August University Göttingen 
invites applications for two PhD positions (50% TV-L 13: 19,9 
hours/week).

The "Language Acquisition" Junior Research Group is interested in 
examining the mechanisms underlying the ease of infants' language 
acquisition and language processing. Researchers working in 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. 

Candidates for the position should hold an excellent Master 
qualification in Psychology, Cognitive Science or related fields. The 
candidate is expected to develop their own project in the context of the 
group's research foci. Other requirements include excellent 
communication skills, an interest in experimental psycholinguistic 
research and a commitment to interdisciplinary research. Candidates 
with previous experience in experimental studies with young children 
are especially encouraged to apply. The working language of the 
group is English and applicants from outside Germany are encouraged 
to apply.

Both positions are initially available for 12 months starting 1st October 
2012 and can be extended for up to 3 years following successful 
evaluation of the group and the person.

The University of Göttingen is an equal opportunities employer and 
places particular emphasis on fostering career opportunities for 
women. Qualified women are therefore strongly encouraged to apply 
as they are underrepresented in this field. Disabled persons with 
equivalent aptitude will be favoured.

Please send your application with the usual documents in electronic 
form by 15th July, 2012 to Nivedita Mani at the email address below. 
We request that you send us copies of your application documents, as 
no returns will be made. We will destroy the documents after a holding 
period of five months. Application documents will only be returned to 
you if you provide a self-addressed adequately stamped envelope.
