Description:

The Psychology of Language Group Georg-Elias-Müller Institut für Psychologie
Georg-August University Göttingen invites applications for a PhD position
(50%; TV-L 13).

The “Psychology of Language” Research Group at Georg-Elias-Müller Institut für
Psychologie is interested in examining the mechanisms underlying the ease of
infants’ language acquisition and language processing. Researchers working
within 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 should hold an excellent Masters in Psychology, Cognitive Science,
Psycholinguistics 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.

The position is available for three years starting 1st September 2016.

The University 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. The University firmly intends to raise the number of disabled
persons in its employment. In the case of equally qualified applicants,
disabled persons will be preferentially considered.

Please send your application with the usual documents (CV, motivation letter
and email addresses of two referees) in electronic form by 15th June, 2016 to
Nivedita Mani (nmani at gwdg.de).

For further information please visit our website
(http://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/127874.html) or contact Nivedita Mani at the
email address given above.

We will delete the documents after a holding period of three months.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
