Description:

The Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics (Nijmegen, the 
Netherlands) invites applications for a PhD position in experimental 
psycholinguistics.

The MPI in Nijmegen is a leading research institute, with a 
stimulating environment and excellent facilities. It is the only institute 
devoted to the question of how we acquire, produce, and understand 
language. Its investigations are highly multidisciplinary, uniting 
anthropology, linguistics, psychology, neuroscience, computer 
science and genetics.

The successful candidate will be affiliated with the department 
Psychology of Language (A. S. Meyer). The mission of the 
department is to understand the psychological processes and 
representations underlying the production and comprehension of 
spoken utterances. Much of the research in the department is 
currently directed at understanding how and why adults differ in 
linguistic knowledge and their ways of using this knowledge. The 
research is carried out in close collaboration with the departments 
Language and Genetics and Neurobiology of Language. The new 
PhD project should concern individual differences in the structure of 
the mental lexicon and in lexical access.  

We seek exceptional students with a talent and inclination for first 
class research. Candidates should have, or shortly expect to obtain, 
a high quality scientific degree in psychology, cognitive 
neurosciences, linguistics, computer sciences or related areas (MA 
or equivalent). Solid knowledge of statistics and experimental design 
is a requirement. Candidates should have excellent written and 
spoken command of English and ideally some knowledge of either 
Dutch or German.

The position is funded for 3 years. Starting date is September 1, 
2012, or January 1, 2013. The institute provides state-of-the art 
research facilities and technical support, and a generous conference 
and travel budget. A program of taught courses is provided by the 
International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS). The Max Planck 
Society is an equal opportunity employer.

Applications should include the candidate's CV, a short statement of 
research interests (2 pages), a sample of their writing, and the 
names and e-mail addresses of two referees. Inquiries and 
applications should be sent as soon as possible to the application 
email address below.
