Description:

PhD position in cognitive neuroscience

The Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics (Nijmegen, the Netherlands) is
inviting applications for a PhD position on the topic of 'The effect of
literacy acquisition on the neural networks for language and vision'

The position is available at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics
beginning September 2016, embedded within the Psychology of Language
department headed by Prof. Antje Meyer. The PhD project will be supervised by
Dr. Falk Huettig and will focus on how human cultural inventions such as
reading and writing affect the neural networks for language and vision. The
PhD candidate can bring in her/his own interests and choose to develop a
project within this framework. For further details see:
http://www.mpi.nl/people/huettig-falk/research

The Psychology of Language department emphasizes the need to study language in
the normal population collecting data from participants with various
backgrounds in and outside the lab. The department provides opportunities for
training in a range of neuropsychological, psychological and phonetic
techniques, frequent research and public engagement meetings, and support from
an excellent team of researchers in psycholinguistics. For further details of
our research, please see our website:
http://www.mpi.nl/departments/psychology-of-language The MPI in Nijmegen is a
leading research institute, with a stimulating environment and excellent
facilities and resources. The institute is entirely devoted to the question of
how we acquire, produce and understand language, and its investigations are
highly multidisciplinary, uniting neuroscience, anthropology, linguistics,
psychology, computer science, and genetics.

Candidates should have, or shortly expect to obtain, a Master’s degree in
cognitive neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science or related areas and
ideally have some experience in using functional and/or structural imaging
techniques. We seek exceptional students with a talent and inclination for
first class research. Candidates should have an excellent written and spoken
command of English.
The position is available as of September 2016 and is fully funded for 4
years. Funding includes generous research and travel budgets. All students
participate in the taught doctoral program of the International Max Planck
Research School (IMPRS) for Language Sciences.

For full consideration applications should be submitted by April 15, 2016. For
any questions concerning the research program please write to
falk.huettig at mpi.nl To apply write to evelyn.veen at mpi.nl Your application
should include your CV, the names and e-mail addresses of two referees.

The Max Planck Society is an equal opportunity employer. Applications from
women, people with disabilities and under-represented groups are particularly
encouraged.

Application Deadline: 15-Apr-2016
