Description:

The Department of Language and Literature is part of the Faculty of Humanities
at NTNU’s Dragvoll campus in Trondheim. Information on the academic profile of
the department, management and staff can be found at http://www.ntnu.edu/isl.

The current position is affiliated with the ØyeLab, run by Associate Professor
Dave Kush  (http://www.ntnu.edu/employees/dave.kush). Ongoing research in the
lab focuses on three main topics: (i) the use of grammatical knowledge in
sentence processing, (ii) cross-linguistic variation (broadly construed), and
(iii) models of acquisition. The lab has an SR Research EyeLink 1000
eye-tracker and a number of personal computers suitable for behavioural
testing. The affiliated Language and Linguistics Processing lab
(https://www.ntnu.edu/langdevlab) also has a state-of-the art 64-channel EEG,
which can be made available for use. The lab is also part of the research
group on Acquisition, Variation and Attrition (AcqVA), more information here:
(http://site.uit.no/acqva/)

We are seeking candidates with interests in sentence processing and/or
experimental/computational approaches to acquisition or linguistic variation.
Candidates should have a background in linguistics, cognitive science, or a
related field. Prior laboratory experience is not strictly mandatory, but
applicants with prior experience will be given priority. Although knowledge of
Norwegian is not a prerequisite, those applicants with proficiency in, and a
desire to study, the language will also receive priority.

The successful candidate will be a member of the PhD program in language and
linguistics at NTNU (see this page for more information:
http://www.ntnu.edu/studies/phspraak/). NTNU is also a member of the Norwegian
Graduate Research School in Linguistics and Philology (LingPhil), which offers
a range of PhD courses available to all members (see
http://www.ntnu.edu/lingphil for more information).

The successful applicant will
- complete the PhD studies within the period of the employment
- participate in and complete the PhD programme within the period of the
appointment. The Faculty of Humanities hosts 4 PhD programmes
(Interdisciplinary Studies of Culture, Humanities and the Arts, Language and
Linguistics and Historical and Cultural Studies). The disciplines that are
included in these programmes can be found under the respective programmes:
http://www.ntnu.edu/studies/phhist

Associate Professor Kush;
- broaden their knowledge base and skillset via graduate level coursework
offered at NTNU and external seminars/courses;
