Job Title: Postdoctoral Fellow in Psycholinguistics
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: Clinical Linguistics; Language Acquisition; Pragmatics; Psycholinguistics; Multilingualism; Bilingualism


Description:

One 3-year Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Psycholinguistics (SKO 1352),
financed by the Research Council of Norway, is available at the Center for
Multilingualism in Society across the Lifespan (MultiLing), a Center of
Excellence at the Department of Linguistics and Scandinavian Studies,
University of Oslo. The fellowship is connected to one of MultiLing’s research
projects, which is entitled "Better attention, better communication? How ADHD
and multilingualism influence children’s pragmatic development” (AttCom),
project no. 315368.

About the Project: 
The project explores the hypothesis that attention is not only a driving
factor in early language development, but also key for understanding
schoolchildren’s persistent pragmatic difficulties, e.g. with understanding
figurative language. Studying children on a continuum of attention skills and
multilingual language experience, the project aims to provide new insights
into the cognitive and linguistic factors that influence children’s pragmatic
development. 

More About the Position: 
MultiLing seeks to recruit a postdoctoral candidate with excellent research
qualifications who will work together closely with Franziska Köder (project
manager, University of Oslo), Maria Garraffa (University of East Anglia/
University of Oslo), and other members of the international and
interdisciplinary project team. The project will conduct psycholinguistic
studies with monolingual and multilingual typically developing children and
children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), using
eye-tracking, cognitive and linguistic tests and behavioral paradigms. The
successful candidate is expected to actively contribute to the empirical
studies at all stages, from design to data analysis, with the opportunity to
lead sub-projects and develop own research ideas within the framework of the
project. 

Qualification Requirements: 
 - The candidate must have a PhD degree or equivalent in Linguistics,
Psychology, or some other relevant discipline related to the project.
 - Experience with psycholinguistic research
 - Solid background in statistics (e.g., in R)
 - Ambitions for high-quality research within the project, as evidenced by the
required research statement
 - Excellent oral and written communication skills in English
Appointment is dependent on the defense of the doctoral thesis being approved.

The following qualifications will be an advantage:
 - Experience in language acquisition research, experimental pragmatics, ADHD
research, or multilingualism research
 - Knowledge of Norwegian or a Scandinavian language

Applicants are expected to present a statement of research, summarizing their
scientific work and research interests, and describe how their expertise,
experience and ideas can strengthen the AttCom project.

For more information on the position and how to apply, see the full job
announcement at the application link provided below.

The application with attachments must be submitted in our electronic
recruiting system in English or a Scandinavian language.
