Description:

Call for (self-)nominations for the position of Director at the Max Planck
Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, The Netherlands.

The Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics invites nominations, including
self-nominations, for a director, who will establish a new research department
at the institute with a unique, innovative and long-term research program
focussed on the study of language.  The area of expertise is entirely open.
Examples of potential research areas are semantics, morphosyntax, phonology
and/or pragmatics in spoken or sign languages, multimodal communication,
comparative linguistics, typology, language evolution or computational
linguistics.

Max Planck directors need to have a record of successful leadership, the
ability to devise a long-term visionary strategy for their research, and the
potential to make a substantial contribution to their institute’s mission and
to develop collaborations with other departments at the institute and other
institutes within the Max Planck Society.

Research at the MPI for Psycholinguistics is focussed on the interdisciplinary
study of language (see http://www.mpi.nl). Our mission is to understand how
our minds and brains process language, how language interacts with other
aspects of mind, how we can learn language, and what is the underlying genetic
and neurobiological infrastructure. The institute currently has four
departments, each led by one director; the new director will join the
directorate as the 5th director. The institute offers outstanding facilities
for studying language, including extensive onsite labs and access to
state-of-the-art facilities at Radboud University.

The institute is situated on the campus of the Radboud University in Nijmegen
and has close collaborative links with the Donders Institute for Brain,
Cognition and Behaviour and the Centre for Language Studies at Radboud
University. Nijmegen is a thriving Dutch city close to the German border, and
a popular place for students, postdoctoral researchers and young families (see
https://en.visitnijmegen.com/). The working language of the institute is
English.

The institute is part of the German Max Planck Society, an independent
non-governmental association dedicated to fundamental research in the natural
sciences, life sciences, social sciences, and the humanities. The Max Planck
Society, an equal opportunities employer, is committed to diversity and
inclusion in all aspects of recruitment and employment, and is particularly
committed to increasing the number of women amongst its scientific leadership.
Therefore, we strongly encourage nominations of qualified women researchers.

Nominations, including self-nominations, should be sent to:
caroline.rowland at mpi.nl. A nomination should include:

- The candidate’s name and current affiliation
- A brief motivational statement (200 words max.) specifying why you have
nominated the candidate

Note that this call is part of the institute’s scouting procedure; its purpose
is to inform the institute about possible candidates. The formal appointment
procedure has not yet begun. As a result of this call, a selection of
(self-)nominated candidates will then be invited for a visit to the institute
in due time.

All nominations will be treated in the strictest confidence. We expect this
call to remain open until midnight (CET) on Sunday 31 May.
