Description:

The Psychology of Language Research Group at Georg-August University Göttingen
invites applications for a PhD position (65% TV-L 13). The 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. 

The advertised position is in the project “Cross-domain influences on early
word and action learning” (Starting date: April 2019). The project examines
the extent to which linguistic and non-linguistic information interact during
early word and action learning. It is part of an interdisciplinary research
group „Crossing the Borders: The Interplay of Language, Cognition, and the
Brain in Early Human Development“ and is in collaboration with the research
group of Prof. Birgit Elsner at the University of Potsdam.

Candidates will hold a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Psychology (or a
related discipline), have a strong research interest in cognitive and language
development, as well as a very good statistical background and English
language proficiency. Experience in experimental research with infants and
young children, with experimental eye-tracking and/or EEG-research, as well as
some programming experience (e.g., Matlab or R) will be advantageous, but is
not required. The position is available for 36 months.

The University of 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. Disabled persons with equivalent aptitude will be favoured.

Please send your application with the usual documents in electronic form by
20th February 2019 to Nivedita Mani (nmani at gwdg.de).

returns will be made. We will destroy the documents after a holding period of
five months. Application documents will only be returned to you if you provide
a self-addressed adequately stamped envelope.
