Description:

The Faculty of Architecture, Computing and Humanities is seeking applicants
for the role of Postdoctoral Research Associate in Second Language
Acquisition. 

Applications are invited for a highly motivated postdoctoral Research
Associate, funded by the Centre for Applied Research and Outreach in Language
Education (CAROLE), to develop theoretical and methodological issues
concerning the pivotal role of input and output in second language
acquisition, using online (i.e. eye-tracking) tasks, and measuring the effect
of specific variables on online interpretation tasks, as well as analysing
second-language elicited production. 

The successful candidate should have a PhD in Second Language Acquisition,
Foreign Language Pedagogy, or a relevant field, and have a strong background
in second language acquisition research. He/she should be familiar with
psycholinguistic research methods with evidence of previous research using
various online data elicitation methods.  Preference will be given to
candidates who also have experience in Instructed SLA research, in particular,
and who are interested in conducting psycholinguistic research with the aim of
informing second/foreign language pedagogy.   

The successful candidate will be working with a team of researchers in the
field of SLA both in the UK and abroad and will provide assistance as part of
the new CAROLE’s NOLTA Lab. He/she will assist in technical training to use
Eye-tracker and EEG systems and will be involved in writing grant proposals.
Teaching for our current postgraduate provision and Structured PhD in Applied
Linguistics may also be required, as needed.

The interview process will include a presentation of research and a formal
interview. Further information about CAROLE is available at
http://www.gre.ac.uk/ach/services/carole/home.

Informal enquiries may be addressed to Professor Alessandro Benati (see
