Subject: English, German; Computational Linguistics, Psycholinguistics: Research Position (Postdoc) in Psycholinguistics, Bielefeld University


University or Organization: Bielefeld University
Department: DFG Collaborative research centre 1646 "Linguistic
creativity in communication"
Job Location: Bielefeld, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany
Web Address: https://www.uni-bielefeld.de/fakultaeten/linguistik-liter
aturwissenschaft/forschung/projekte/crc1646/
Job Title: Research Position (Postdoc) in Psycholinguistics
Job Rank: Post Doc, Researcher

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics; Psycholinguistics

Required Language(s): English (eng)
                      German (deu)

Description:

The CRC 1646 is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and
investigates linguistic creativity in communication from a range of
different perspectives.

Project C02 examines multimodal creativity in speech-gesture
production and targets the underlying processes by investigating how
creativity in language is enabled or constrained by its combination
with the gestural modality and how this interplay is further
conditioned by communicative or cognitive demands. We will identify
patterns of multimodal creativity by combining behavourial experiments
with psycholinguistic and computational A.I. modelling. The ultimate
goal is to develop a cognitive-computational model that accounts for
general mechanisms and processes of multimodal creativity.

Your Tasks

Research tasks (95 %):
 - experimental research on multimodal language production and work on
computational and psycholinguistic modeling of speech-gesture
production processes
Participation in the CRC-internal organization and academic
self-administration (5 %)

Employment is conducive to scientific qualification.

Your Profile

We expect:
 - relevant, successfully completed scientific university degree (e.
g. Master or Diploma) doctoral degree (completed by employment date)
in linguistics, cognitive science or a related field with a focus on
experimental psycholinguistics
 - in-depth knowledge in one area of experimental psycholinguistics
 - very good programming skills (e.g. R, Python)
 - expertise in statistical analysis  (e.g., mixed effects models,
Bayesian statistics)
 - international publication experience
 -very good written and spoken English language skills
 - strong communication skills and excellent presentation skills
 - cooperative and team-oriented working style
 - independent, self-reliant and committed way of working
 - strong organizational and coordination skills

Preferred experience and skills:
 - qualification in the profile as specified in the project C02 as
described here
 - experience in planning and conducting psycholinguistic behavioral
experiments (including annotation and analysis of experimental
(language/gesture) production data)
 - knowledge in computational psycholinguistic modelling
 - interest in working in a larger interdisciplinary research
initiative
 - basic written and spoken knowledge of German or willingness to
learn German
