[Dorthe Bleses]

Job-announcement

The Center for Language Acquisition offers a Ph.D.-stipend for appointment 
October 1st, 2004, at the Institute of Language and Communication, 
University of Southern Denmark, Odense.

The Ph.D.-stipend is advertised in affiliation with the project "The 
interaction between segmentation strategies and mental representations of 
language sounds and language production in normal and hearing impaired 
populations" (“sammenhængen mellem segmenteringsstrategier og mentale 
repræsentationer af sproglyde og sprogproduktion i normale og hørehæmmede 
populationer”), financed by Widex A/S and University of Southern Denmark. 
The aim of the project is to investigate the relations between segmentation 
strategies and mental representations of language sounds in both normal and 
hearing impaired populations. The Ph.D.-stipend will comprise experimental 
investigation of the acquisition of language sounds in normally hearing and 
hearing impaired children in the age-span of 0 to 6 months.

The selected applicant will take part in the research milieu at the Center 
for Language Acquisition as well as in the established Ph.D.-network at the 
Institute of Language and Communication.

Relevant educational prerequisites could be e.g. psychology (preferably 
developmental or cognitive), psycho-linguistics or language psychology, 
phonetics, “lab-phonology” or audiologopaedics. Experience with working 
experimentally is an advantage.

The job does not necessarily require basic Danish language skills prior to 
employment, which opens the position up for foreign applicants with 
relevant background and research interests, and everyone is therefore 
invited to apply.

A specific project description will be drawn up within the first part of 
the stipend-period. Applicants can obtain further information concerning 
the project as well as the stipend by contacting project-director, 
Center-director Dorthe Bleses: email: 
<mailto:bleses at language.sdu.dk>bleses at language.sdu.dk, tel: +45 6550 3346.

Engagement as a Ph.D. Research Fellow is for three years. Employment stops 
automatically at the end of the period. The holder of the stipend is not 
allowed to have other paid employment during the three-year period.

The successful applicant will be employed in accordance with the agreement 
of 26 May 2000 on salaried Ph.D. fellows between the Ministry of Finance 
and AC (the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations).

The University encourages all interested persons to apply, regardless of 
age, gender, religious affiliation or ethnic background.

Please send 4 copies of the application, marked “Position No. 046013”, and 
appendices, including publications on which the applicant wishes to rely, to
