Description:

Applications are invited for one two-year (2013–2015) postdoctoral research
fellowship at the Language Research Centre (http://arts.ucalgary.ca/lrc/) at
the University of Calgary. The scholar will have the opportunity to
collaborate on ongoing and planned studies investigating the processing of

(EEG) system housed in the Psycholinguistics Laboratory in the Language
Research Centre to determine the extent to which various prosodic cues are
processed. Applicants should have obtained a Ph.D. in psychology, linguistics
or a related field no more than three years prior to the proposed start date

expertise in the use of EEG systems and nativelike competence in English and
German.

The postdoctoral scholar will participate fully in and contribute to the
intellectual life of the Centre and the Department of Germanic, Slavic and
East Asian Studies, collaborate with colleagues and graduate students in
languages, linguistics and psychology, and provide leadership in the use of
EEG technology. S/he may have the opportunity to teach one or more course in
one of these fields.

The chosen applicant will be one of 60 new postdoctoral scholars hired by the
University of Calgary in 2013
(http://www.ucalgary.ca/risingstars/researchers). With a population of over
one million, Calgary is one of Canada’s largest head office cities and enjoys
a vibrant economic climate based on energy, high-tech, financial services, and
tourism. This business environment provides a variety of opportunities for
scholars. Situated in the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, the city
offers excellent year-round recreational opportunities.

experience and interests to Dr. Mary O’Brien at the application email address
