Description:

A Postdoctoral research position is available in the Applied English
Linguistics Section at the Department of English, University of Graz. This
position is attached to the project Characterising Foreign Accent in First
Language Attrition funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) to Professor
Ineke Mennen, the Principal Investigator (PI).

You will be working alongside the PI, two PhD students, a student assistant,
and our international collaborator (Dr Robert Mayr, Cardiff Metropolitan
University) on the aims of the project to characterise perceived phonetic L1
attrition, to relate it to acoustic changes in the L1 and L2, and to determine
which predictor variables govern it. 

The positions is fixed term, 34 hours per week, for a period of three years,
starting in January 2020. The successful candidate will have a PhD in
Phonetics or related disciplines. Extensive experience in acoustic and
auditory phonetics (including both segments and prosody), with advanced skills
in speech database management, signal processing, speech resynthesis and
statistical analysis methods (e.g. multivariate statistics, linear mixed
models, time-series analyses in R) are required. An interest in second
language acquisition and/or L1 attrition is desirable. The candidate should be
fluent in English, and ideally also in German.

You will be expected to help run the project on a day-to-day basis, coordinate
the experiments, and you will be responsible for analyzing data, for
disseminating the project's findings, and writing of research papers arising
from the project. Please contact the PI for more information at the contact
information below.

If you are interested in applying, please email the following to the
application email provided below:
- A cover letter outlining your background and suitability for the post;
