Description:

The Center for Multilingualism in Society across the Lifespan (MultiLing) at
the Department of Linguistics and Scandinavian Studies at the University of
Oslo, Norway, invites applications for a 2-year postdoctoral position (SKO
1352) in psycho-/neurolinguistics, starting September 2021.

MultiLing is a Center of Excellence funded by the Research Council of Norway
(2013-2023). This position is connected to MultiLing’s research project
Morphosyntactic Production in Stroke-induced Agrammatic Aphasia: A
Cross-linguistic Machine Learning Approach (Machine Learning Aphasia). A brief
description of the project can be found here:
https://www.hf.uio.no/multiling/english/projects/flagship-projects/machine-lea
rning-aphasia/

The successful applicant will work closely with Valantis Fyndanis (project
manager) on one or more studies investigating verb-related morphosyntactic
processing in persons with aphasia and/or neurologically healthy individuals
with a focus on one or more of the languages involved in the Machine Learning
Aphasia project (i.e., Norwegian, Greek, Italian, Russian, English).

Applicants are expected to present an independent research project proposal on
verb-related morphosyntactic processing. We particularly welcome projects
relating to the online processing of tense and/or aspect in one (or more) of
the languages involved in the project. However, projects focusing on other
verb-related morphosyntactic/morphosemantic phenomena will also be considered.

The successful applicant will have access to MultiLing’s SocioCognitive Lab,
which offers excellent experimental facilities, including eye-trackers, an EEG
system, and video and audio recording. More information about facilities and
equipment can be found here:
https://wiki.uio.no/hf/multiling/index.php/Main_Page

Qualification requirements:
In assessing the applications, special emphasis will be placed on the quality
of the project description and its relevance to the Machine Learning Aphasia
project. We seek strongly motivated, competent candidates, with high-ranking
academic qualifications in the relevant area of research.

The candidate should have:
- A PhD degree or equivalent in Psycholinguistics/Neurolinguistics or in
Cognitive Psychology/Neuropsychology
- Advanced statistical knowledge/skills
- Excellent written and spoken language skills in English
- The doctoral dissertation must be submitted for evaluation by the
application deadline. Appointment is dependent on the public defence of the
doctoral thesis being approved.

In the assessment of the applications, emphasis will be placed on:
- The project’s scientific merit, research-related relevance and innovation
- The applicant’s international experience and network of relevance to the
project
- The applicant’s academic and personal qualifications to carry out the
project within the allotted time frame
- Good cooperative skills, and the ability to successfully join in academic
collaboration within and across disciplines, as an active member of the
Machine Learning Aphasia project group
- Personal suitability and motivation for the position
