https://www.ling.uni-konstanz.de/phonlab/research/projects/). We study
selected phonological phenomena (preaspiration, word stress) in several groups
of heritage language speakers and L2 speakers of Icelandic to throw light on
the questions whether phenomena at different phonological levels are affected
in the same way by dynamic cross-linguistic influences and whether these
effects are the same for different types of learners.

Germany. Since 2007 it has been successful in the German Excellence Initiative
and its follow-up programme, the Excellence Strategy. The position will be

Your Competencies:
- An excellent MA or equivalent in a relevant field (e.g., Linguistics,
Phonetics/Phonology, Speech and Language Technology, Speech Signal Processing,
Speech Sciences, Psycholinguistics etc.)
- Strong written and oral English language skills
- Programming skills in MATLAB/R/ Python, experience in experimental designs
and statistical methods
Experience in the (cross-linguistic) study of spoken language 
- Motivation and ability for independent and structured working and
problem-solving
- Interpersonal and communication skills and motivation to constructively
engage in teamwork

We Offer:
- An open, motivated research team and interdisciplinary research environment
- Opportunities for further collaboration with local research groups
