From: Angela Heuts [Angela.Heuts at mpi.nl]
Subject: Cognitive Science, General Linguistics, Language Acquisition, Psycholinguistics: Max Planck Research Group Leader, Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics


University or Organization: Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics
Department: Language Development
Job Location: Nijmegen, Netherlands
Web Address: https://www.mpi.nl/department/language-development/3
Job Title: Max Planck Research Group Leader

Specialty Areas: Cognitive Science; General Linguistics; Language
Acquisition; Psycholinguistics

Description:

The Group Leader is expected to develop an independent research
program within the Department. For this, they will receive their own
annual budget that will fund research staff (enough to cover one
postdoctoral researcher or two PhD students) and running costs. They
will also receive a generous start-up package for equipment, an annual
conference and travel budget, and access to state-of-the art research
and training facilities.

They will be supported to apply for external grants if they wish to
supplement their core research funds, but this is not a requirement of
the post. There are no required teaching responsibilities but they
will have the opportunity to teach on the Masters courses of Radboud
University if they wish.

The initial appointment is for five years, with the possibility of a
permanent position after international review (tenure-track). A
part-time position is possible in negotiation.

Requirements:

Essential
 - A strong background in research on first language(s) acquisition.
Priority will be given to candidates whose skills, interests and
experiences complement those of the current Director (Caroline
Rowland).
 - A PhD in cognitive neuroscience, cognitive science, computer
science, linguistics, psychology or a related discipline.
 - A proven ability to publish high quality, innovative research on
language acquisition.
 - Proven supervision and research leadership experience, which may
include supervision of students, research staff and/or early career
postdoctoral researchers.
 - Evidence of the ability or potential to develop an independent
research program that complements the research at the Department and
contributes to its long-term goal to identify how children learn to
communicate with language.

Desirable
 - Evidence of the potential to make a substantial contribution to the
Institute’s mission, and to develop collaborations with other
departments at the Institute, other institutes within the Max Planck
Society, and/or external partners.
 - Evidence of a commitment to Open Science and to Diversity, Equity &
Inclusion.


Conditions of employment:
The position is available from 1st September 2024. The start date is
flexible but the candidate should be in post by 1st January 2025 at
the latest.
Full-time position (41 hours per week) with an initial term of
appointment of 5 years and with the possibility of a permanent
position after international review (tenure-track). A part-time
position is possible in negotiation.

The Institute is part of a German organisation, so the salary is based
on remuneration group W2 of the German Federal Civil Service
Remuneration Act [Bundesbesoldungsgesetz - BBesG]. Potential salary is
difficult to estimate because it depends on the qualifications and
experience of the applicant, and is usually increased by family,
appointment/retention and performance-related payments. However, more
information about what to expect from a W2 salary can be found here
under ‘responsibilities and salary’.

All employees have 6 weeks annual leave (pro rata for part-time
employees) plus national holidays. All research staff have access to
state-of-the art research and training facilities and a generous
conference and travel budget. The job includes co-supervision of
junior researchers, but no other teaching obligations.
