months initially, with the possibility of an extension of another 6 months.
Part-time/job share applications also welcome.
 - The salary is according to the German TVöD (Tarifvertrag für den
öffentlichen Dienst) and is classified in salary group E09b (depending on the
experience of the applicant between EUR 3.173,30 and EUR 3.555,82 gross per
month), based on a full-time employment.

Employer: 
The Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen is a research
institute entirely devoted to the study of language. Our goal is to understand
how our minds and brains process language, how language interacts with other
aspects of mind, and how we can learn languages of quite different types. We
are situated on the campus of the Radboud University, and have close
collaborative links with the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and
Behaviour and the Centre for Language Studies at Radboud University. We also
work closely with other child development researchers as part of the Baby and
Child Research Centre. Staff and students at the MPI have access to
state-of-the art research and training facilities (including audio-visual
equipment, EEG, fMRI, eye tracking, virtual reality labs, molecular biology
labs and a child-friendly child development lab).

We are part of the Max Planck Society, an independent non-governmental
association of German-funded research institutes dedicated to fundamental
research in the natural sciences, life sciences, social sciences, and the
humanities. The Max Planck Society is an equal opportunities employer. We
recognise the positive value of diversity, promote equality and challenge
discrimination. We therefore welcome applications from all suitably qualified
candidates, irrespective of gender, disability, marital or parental status,
racial, ethnic or social origin, colour, religion, belief, or sexual
orientation (https://www.mpi.nl/page/equal-opportunities).
