Specialty Areas: Neurolinguistics; Phonology 


Description:

The Department of Germanic Linguistics at the University of Marburg is 
seeking to fill the position of a postdoctoral researcher (salary according to 
EG 13 TV-H; i.e. approx. EUR 3110-3640 / month before taxes 
commensurate with experience, amounting to approx. EUR 1844-2082 / 
month after taxes and including health insurance) for the duration of three 
years. Starting date: January 1st 2012 or soon thereafter.

The position is part of the research unit 'Exploring the building blocks of 
language' ('Fundierung linguistischer Basiskategorien'; financed by the 
German state of Hesse as part of the LOEWE programme), which aims to 
identify empirically grounded concepts and categories for linguistic 
theorising by combining empirical insights from neurolinguistics, language 
acquisition, language variation and change as well as linguistic typology. 
The postdoctoral researcher will work within the sub-project 'Boundary 
signals for foot and word', a project aiming at the analysis of the ways and 
means of signalling boundary signals for prosodic categories, especially for 
the foot and word. The role of the prosodic boundaries for lexical 
processing will be studied as well. Linguistic analyses and neurolinguistic 
experiments (especially by means of event-related potentials) will be 
performed. Co-operation with other projects in the same programme are 
expected as well.

The successful candidate will hold a PhD in linguistics or a related field 
(phonetics, psychology) and will have prior experience with phonological 
analysis, especially prosody, corpus studies and/or neuroscientific 
methodologies in language processing. Experience with EEG-based 
measures is particularly important. He/she will have a good knowledge of 
experimental design and statistics. The candidate should also have a good 
command of English, good interpersonal skills and the ability to supervise 
students and research assistants. Knowledge of German is not required 
when taking up the position, but we do expect an interest in learning the 
language.

Applications should include the names and contact details of three 
referees. Any questions about the position may be directed to Prof. Richard 
Wiese (wiese at uni-marburg.de). The full advertisement (in German) may 
also be found here:

Please send your application via e-mail to Prof. Richard Wiese (wiese at uni-
marburg.de), quoting reference fb09-0025-wmz-2011. Review of 
applications will immediately, but will continue until the position is filled.
