Description:

A permanent position as Lab Engineer is available at the Department of
Linguistics and Scandinavian Studies, University of Oslo.

The lab engineer will work in the Socio-Cognitive Laboratory, established by
the Center for Multilingualism in Society Across the Lifespan (MultiLing), a
center of excellence funded by the Research Council of Norway. The
Socio-Cognitive Laboratory has an advanced audio-visual system, two
eye-trackers (SMI 250 RED, EyeLink 1000+), an EEG system (Brain Products), and
other IT equipment and software. The appointed lab engineer will join a
vibrant team of researchers, post-docs, PhD and MA students, conducting
research in different areas of linguistics, for example, psycholinguistics,
sociolinguistics and experimental phonology, while working more closely with
the lab manager and several research assistants.

Work tasks: 
 - Responsibility for the daily operation of the Socio-Cognitive Laboratory
 - Support for researchers at all phases of experimental research in the lab
(for example setting up, piloting, and troubleshooting experiments; coding
scripts for data collection, data processing, and statistical analysis)
 - Procurement, installation, support, and maintenance of equipment in the lab
 - Development and implementation of optimal operating procedures for the lab
equipment (for example EEG, eye-tracking)
 - Training of researchers and students

Qualification requirements: 
 - Master’s degree or submitted MA-thesis in a relevant field. The applicant
should explain how the degree is relevant for the post. Relevant experience
may compensate for the lack of formal education.
 - Coding experience (for example PsychoPy, Python, R, Matlab) required to
build experiments and to process different types of data (for example
eye-tracking, EEG, behavioral data)
 - Experience and interest in quantitative research and experimental methods
 - Fluency in oral and written English

In addition, desirable qualifications include:
 - Experience with data processing, visualization and statistical analysis
(for example mixed-effect modelling)
 - Experience with solving technical challenges
 - Experience with collecting EEG and/or eye-tracking data and its analysis
(for example time-course analysis, cluster-permutation analysis, etc.)
 - Experience with processing of sound and video recordings
 - Familiarity with relevant software (for example Presentation, Brainvision
Analyzer, SR Experiment Builder, ELAN, Praat)
 - Experience with experimental methods in linguistics and/or psychology
 - Knowledge of Norwegian or another Scandinavian language

Personal skills: 
 - Excellent collaboration and communication skills, including the ability to
“translate” technical terms and expressions to an understandable language for
researchers and students
 - Proactive attitude towards acquiring new skills and knowledge, necessary to
support state-of-the-art research at the department
 - Service-minded, solution-oriented, and flexible attitude

We offer: 
 - Salary NOK 543 500 - 650 300 per annum depending on qualifications in a
position as Senior Engineer, position code 1181
 - A professionally stimulating and friendly working environment
 - Membership in the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund
 - Attractive welfare benefits
