Description:

The IMPRS for Language Sciences is now advertising three fully funded PhD
positions.

The International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) for Language Sciences is
the leading research school in the world devoted to studying the foundations
of human language. It is a joint initiative of the Max Planck Institute for
Psycholinguistics, the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour,
and the Centre for Language Studies of the Radboud University. The research
school offers unrivalled training, top facilities (from genetics labs,
advanced brain imaging techniques, psychology labs to supported fieldwork
opportunities), and an outstanding interdisciplinary environment (see
http://www.mpi.nl/education/imprs-for-language-sciences).

We aim to attract outstanding students who wish to earn a PhD degree in any
area of the Languages Sciences. Broad questions addressed by students of the
IMPRS include: 

- What is the architecture of the language system?
- How is language represented in the brain?
- What is the genetic basis of neurodevelopmental communication disorders? 
- Why is the human brain capable of learning and processing diverse languages?

If you have a background in (psycho)linguistics, psychology, cognitive
neuroscience, molecular biology or genetics, computer science, or artificial
intelligence, you could contribute to fundamental science in this area and
earn a PhD degree from the International Max Planck Research School for
Language Sciences.

PhD projects are fully funded for four years. PhD students receive a monthly
salary sufficient to cover living costs in Nijmegen.

Applicants must have a Master’s degree (or expect to complete the degree
before September 2017) in a relevant field. 

The working language of the research school is English.
 

Application Deadline: 04-Jan-2017
