Job Title: Post-Doctoral position in Theoretical Linguistics and Psycholinguisti
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: Language Acquisition; Morphology; Semantics; Syntax 

Required Language(s): Arabic, Standard (arb)

Description:

Applications are invited for a post-doc position in theoretical linguistics
(syntax/semantics/pragmatics interfaces) and psycholinguistics (heritage
language acquisition and knowledge), at the University of Nantes, France.

The position is funded by the FP7 (the European Union’s 7th Framework Program
for Research and Technological Development) collaborative research project
AThEME (Advancing the European Multilingual Experience) on multilingualism.
The project involves 16 institutions located in 8 European countries and runs
from March 2014 until March 2019.

The research fellow will join the Nantes Linguistics Lab (LLING) to work on
AThEME’s WP3 Heritage languages & language users in the EU, coordinated by
Hamida Demirdache (LLING) & Janet Grijzenhout (Baby Speech Laboratory (BSL),
University of Konstanz).

The goal of our project is to experimentally investigate Heritage Language
(HL) knowledge and acquisition at the morpho-syntax/semantics interface.

The post-doctoral researcher will be in charge of conducting an experimental
study targeting 2nd generation (adolescent) HL users of Arabic from the Nantes
area, to test comprehension (vs. production) of negative sensitive items in
Arabic.

The successful candidate will have an expertise in both theoretical and
experimental syntax/semantics; in particular, of experimental methodologies to
probe language comprehension and elicit production data in controlled
discourse contexts. Primary duties include working with the coordinators and
members of the lab to design, conduct, and write up the experiments associated
with WP3. Knowledge of Arabic is an asset, but is not required. Individuals
who are prepared to take a lead role in developing experimental research at
the syntax/semantics interface are especially encouraged to apply. The
position has a term of appointment of 2 years with a possible renewal.

Qualifications: A PhD in linguistics, psycholinguistics or a related field is
required.

To Apply: A cover letter explaining qualifications for the position, a CV, a
research statement, and one or more representative publications or other
writings should be sent to the application email address below. Please also
arrange to have three letters of recommendation sent to that address. Review
of material will begin on September 1, 2014 and continue until the position is
filled. The (flexible) start date of the postdoctoral position is January 31,
2015.
