Description:

The University of Potsdam, Structural Unit Cognitive Sciences is recruiting a

within the newly established research group “Applied statistics in Cognitive
Science”.

Research in the group is primarily dedicated to understanding language
processes with a focus on experimental methods and applied statistics. The
successful candidate is expected to focus her/his research on language
processing or on applied statistics for (psycho)linguistic research or related
fields. S(he) is further expected to contribute to advanced-level teaching
activities.

We are looking for a highly motivated researcher with a background in
psycholinguistics or (experimental) linguistics. Candidates with backgrounds
in other fields of cognitive psychology and an interest for language are also
invited to apply. A solid expertise/knowledge of the basic principles of
applied statistics is required. The everyday working language will be English,
and good written and oral communication skills in English are essential. Basic
knowledge of German is desirable. Programming skills (e.g., Python, Matlab),
as well as expertise with EEG processing/analyses are a plus.

The position is for 20 hours of work per week (50 %). The salary is determined
by the collective bargaining agreement for public employees in Germany (TV -L
13 Ost). This is a temporary position limited to a term of 2 years with
Section 2 sub-section 1 of the Academic Fixed-Term Contract Law (WissZeitVG).

The position will be embedded into the Structural Unit Cognitive Sciences.
Within this highly interdisciplinary setting, cognitive scientists,
psychologists, mathematicians, computer scientists, linguists, and
sport/movement scientists work together using a wide array of experimental
techniques, such as EEG, TMS, NIRS, eye tracking, motion capture, and gait
analysis.

Under the laws of the federal state of Brandenburg, employees under this
contract are permitted to dedicate at least 33% of their contract time for
their scientific qualification. The University strives for a balanced gender
ratio in all occupational groups. Applicants with disabilities will be given
preference in case of equal suitability. Applicants with an immigration
background are specifically encouraged to apply.

Please send your application with the requisition number 159/2016 including a
letter of motivation with an outline of your research interests, transcript of
grades, copies of certificates, a CV and two letters of recommendation by
