Subject: Language Acquisition: PhD, Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, Netherlands

 Institution/Organization: Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics 
Department: Language Development 

Level: PhD 

Duties: Research
 
Specialty Areas: Language Acquisition 
 

Description:

Applications are invited for a PhD studentship position on children’s early
language development to start in autumn 2017.

This position provides the opportunity for studying at the new Language
Development Department at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics,
which is dedicated to research on how children acquire their first language. 

Position: Exploring language development in the brain

This project will examine the way that neural correlates of language
acquisition develop over infancy using a combination of behavioural methods,
EEG, and fNIRS. Studies for this project will adopt a contemporary approach to
studying language development, using linguistic stimuli created to closely
match the distributional properties of the native language of the infants
tested, as indicated by corpus analysis. This project will require testing
infants at different ages, with the possibility to test a cohort of infants
longitudinally for some studies.

Candidates should have, or be willing to develop, knowledge of EEG/fNIRS. An
interest in distributional learning is also desirable for this post.
 

Application Deadline: 16-Jun-2017
